Materials Data on SiPb(OF3)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

(Pb2Si2(OF4)3)2O2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of eight water molecules and one Pb2Si2(OF4)3 framework. In the Pb2Si2(OF4)3 framework, there are two inequivalent Pb sites. In the first Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two O and six F atoms. There are one shorter (2.64 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) Pb–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Pb–F bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.76 Å. In the second Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four O and six F atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.76 Å. There are a spread of Pb–F bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.75 Å. There are two inequivalent Si sites. In the first Si site, Si is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F atoms. There are a spread of Si–F bond distances ranging from 1.69–1.73 Å. In the second Si site, Si is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F atoms. There are a spread of Si–F bond distances ranging from 1.70–1.75 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Pb atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Pb atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Pb atoms. There are twelve inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pb and one Si atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pb and one Si atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pb and one Si atom. In the fourth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pb and one Si atom. In the fifth F site, F is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Pb and one Si atom. In the sixth F site, F is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pb and one Si atom. In the seventh F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pb and one Si atom. In the eighth F site, F is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pb and one Si atom. In the ninth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pb and one Si atom. In the tenth F site, F is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Pb and one Si atom. In the eleventh F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pb and one Si atom. In the twelfth F site, F is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pb and one Si atom.

Cyclic moisture reactivation of calcium sorbents for long duration thermochemical energy storage

The transition to a flexible and reliable energy infrastructure, using electro-thermal energy generation technologies such as geothermal, concentrated solar power, and nuclear, usually demands simultaneous advancement of thermal energy storage (TES) to support on-demand electricity generation and industrial applications while mitigating the inherent intermittency of renewable energy sources and power outages from direct energy generation. Among TES technologies, thermochemical energy storage (TCES) based on calcium looping emerges as a compelling high-power energy storage candidate due to its high reaction enthalpy, compatibility with elevated operating temperatures, and abundance of low-cost materials. However, the long-term durability of calcium-based sorbents for TCES is hindered by surface sintering and particle aggregation, leading to performance degradation over repeated thermal cycles. This study explores a moisture hydration-based strategy to regenerate a degraded calcium sorbent and mitigate performance degradation for long duration TCES. The addition of moisture transforms calcium oxide into calcium hydroxide and produces intercalation water layers, associated with a regenerated surface area and reduced calcium oxide crystallite size. Both these effects are beneficial in restoring the sorbents' reactivity for carbonization. Additionally, an optimized hydration-assisted reactivation protocol balances the recovered energy storage capacity with heating penalty required for moisture removal from hydrated samples, resulting in an enhanced energy storage capacity up to 176% compared to benchmark sorbents that undergo cycling without reactivation after 60 cycles. In conclusion, these results highlight the potential of hydration-assisted reactivation to enhance the long-term performance of TCES, providing an effective pathway to advancing electro-thermal storage technologies.
