Materials Data on Sc19(RuBr7)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Sc19(RuBr7)4 crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Sc sites. In the first Sc site, Sc is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Ru and five Br atoms. The Sc–Ru bond length is 2.58 Å. There are a spread of Sc–Br bond distances ranging from 2.68–3.15 Å. In the second Sc site, Sc is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Ru and five Br atoms. The Sc–Ru bond length is 2.54 Å. There are a spread of Sc–Br bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.19 Å. In the third Sc site, Sc is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Ru and five Br atoms. The Sc–Ru bond length is 2.53 Å. There are a spread of Sc–Br bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.18 Å. In the fourth Sc site, Sc is bonded to three equivalent Ru and three equivalent Br atoms to form edge-sharing ScRu3Br3 octahedra. All Sc–Ru bond lengths are 2.68 Å. All Sc–Br bond lengths are 2.90 Å. In the fifth Sc site, Sc is bonded to three Ru and three Br atoms to form edge-sharing ScRu3Br3 octahedra. There are one shorter (2.66 Å) and two longer (2.69 Å) Sc–Ru bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.92 Å) and one longer (2.93 Å) Sc–Br bond lengths. In the sixth Sc site, Sc is bonded to six Br atoms to form edge-sharing ScBr6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sc–Br bond distances ranging from 2.66–2.79 Å. There are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru is bonded to six Sc atoms to form distorted edge-sharing RuSc6 octahedra. In the second Ru site, Ru is bonded to six Sc atoms to form distorted edge-sharing RuSc6 octahedra. There are eight inequivalent Br sites. In the first Br site, Br is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Sc atoms. In the second Br site, Br is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four Sc atoms. In the third Br site, Br is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four Sc atoms. In the fourth Br site, Br is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four Sc atoms. In the fifth Br site, Br is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Sc atoms. In the sixth Br site, Br is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Sc atoms. In the seventh Br site, Br is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Sc atoms. In the eighth Br site, Br is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Sc 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.
