Materials Data on Te2As(SeF2)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

AsTe2(SeF2)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. As2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of As–F bond distances ranging from 1.76–1.79 Å. There are two inequivalent Te5+ sites. In the first Te5+ site, Te5+ is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Se2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.64 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) Te–Se bond lengths. In the second Te5+ site, Te5+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se2- atom. The Te–Se bond length is 2.49 Å. There are three inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Te5+, one Se2-, and two F1- atoms. The Se–Se bond length is 2.32 Å. There are one shorter (3.21 Å) and one longer (3.39 Å) Se–F bond lengths. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Te5+ and one F1- atom. The Se–F bond length is 3.07 Å. In the third Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Se2- and two F1- atoms. The Se–Se bond length is 2.39 Å. Both Se–F bond lengths are 3.67 Å. There are six inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As2+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As2+ and one Se2- atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As2+ and one Se2- atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As2+ and one Se2- atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As2+ and one Se2- atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As2+ and one Se2- 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.
