Abstract

YMo2Fe5Co5 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Mo, eight Fe, and ten Co atoms. Both Y–Mo bond lengths are 3.04 Å. There are two shorter (3.05 Å) and six longer (3.24 Å) Y–Fe bond lengths. There are a spread of Y–Co bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.23 Å. Mo is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Y, one Mo, seven Fe, and five Co atoms. The Mo–Mo bond length is 2.44 Å. There are a spread of Mo–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.92 Å.

There are two shorter (2.44 Å) and two longer (2.45 Å) Fe–Co bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded to two equivalent Y, two equivalent Mo, five Fe, and three Co atoms to form distorted CoY2Fe5Co3Mo2 cuboctahedra that share corners with six FeY2Fe2Co6Mo2 cuboctahedra, corners with eight CoY2Fe5Co3Mo2 cuboctahedra, edges with three FeY2Fe2Co6Mo2 cuboctahedra, edges with four CoY2Fe5Co3Mo2 cuboctahedra, faces with three CoY2Fe5Co3Mo2 cuboctahedra, and faces with six FeY2Fe2Co6Mo2 cuboctahedra. There are one shorter (2.46 Å) and two longer (2.67 Å) Co–Co bond lengths. In the second Co site, Co is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y, two equivalent Mo, five Fe, and three Co atoms. The Co–Co bond length is 2.45 Å.

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.
