Materials Data on Sb4Se3SI4 by Materials Project

Abstract

(SbSeI)2Sb2SeSI2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of one Sb2SeSI2 ribbon oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction and one SbSeI ribbon oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. In the Sb2SeSI2 ribbon, there are two inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded to two equivalent Se2-, one S2-, and two equivalent I1- atoms to form edge-sharing SbSe2SI2 square pyramids. Both Sb–Se bond lengths are 2.83 Å. The Sb–S bond length is 2.50 Å. Both Sb–I bond lengths are 3.16 Å. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded to one Se2-, two equivalent S2-, and two equivalent I1- atoms to form edge-sharing SbSeS2I2 square pyramids. The Sb–Se bond length is 2.63 Å. Both Sb–S bond lengths are 2.73 Å. Both Sb–I bond lengths are 3.13 Å. Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Sb3+ atoms. S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Sb3+ atoms. There are two inequivalent I1- sites. In the first I1- site, I1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Sb3+ atoms. In the second I1- site, I1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Sb3+ atoms. In the SbSeI ribbon, there are two inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded to three Se2- and two equivalent I1- atoms to form edge-sharing SbSe3I2 square pyramids. There are one shorter (2.64 Å) and two longer (2.84 Å) Sb–Se bond lengths. Both Sb–I bond lengths are 3.15 Å. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded to three Se2- and two equivalent I1- atoms to form edge-sharing SbSe3I2 square pyramids. There are one shorter (2.63 Å) and two longer (2.83 Å) Sb–Se bond lengths. Both Sb–I bond lengths are 3.16 Å. There are two inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Sb3+ atoms. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Sb3+ atoms. There are two inequivalent I1- sites. In the first I1- site, I1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Sb3+ atoms. In the second I1- site, I1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Sb3+ atoms.

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.
