Materials Data on Sb2Te3WC4(OF3)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

WCSb2Te3OF12(CO)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of twelve formaldehyde molecules and one WCSb2Te3OF12 framework. In the WCSb2Te3OF12 framework, W4+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three Te2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.87 Å) and one longer (2.89 Å) W–Te bond lengths. C4+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. There are two inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.91–1.93 Å. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F1- atoms. There is three shorter (1.92 Å) and three longer (1.93 Å) Sb–F bond length. There are two inequivalent Te2- sites. In the first Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one W4+, two equivalent Te2-, and three F1- atoms. Both Te–Te bond lengths are 2.78 Å. There are one shorter (2.88 Å) and two longer (3.23 Å) Te–F bond lengths. In the second Te2- site, Te2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one W4+, two Te2-, one O2-, and four F1- atoms. The Te–Te bond length is 2.78 Å. The Te–O bond length is 3.84 Å. There are a spread of Te–F bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.59 Å. O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ and two equivalent Te2- atoms. There are eight inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ and one Te2- atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ and one Te2- atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ and one Te2- atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ and one Te2- atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ and two equivalent Te2- atoms. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ and one Te2- atom. In the eighth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ 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.
