Abstract

Fe7Sb10(O9Cl4)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Fe7Sb10(O9Cl4)2 sheet oriented in the (1, 1, 0) direction. there are four inequivalent Fe+2.86+ sites. In the first Fe+2.86+ site, Fe+2.86+ is bonded to three O2- and three Cl1- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing FeCl3O3 octahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.25 Å. There are a spread of Fe–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.70 Å. In the second Fe+2.86+ site, Fe+2.86+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four O2- and two Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.05–2.25 Å. There are one shorter (2.52 Å) and one longer (2.96 Å) Fe–Cl bond lengths. In the third Fe+2.86+ site, Fe+2.86+ is bonded to four O2- and two Cl1- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing FeCl2O4 octahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.24 Å. There are one shorter (2.67 Å) and one longer (2.68 Å) Fe–Cl bond lengths. In the fourth Fe+2.86+ site, Fe+2.86+ is bonded to two equivalent O2- and four Cl1- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing FeCl4O2 octahedra. Both Fe–O bond lengths are 1.94 Å. There are two shorter (2.61 Å) and two longer (2.84 Å) Fe–Cl bond lengths. There are five inequivalent Sb+2.40+ sites. In the first Sb+2.40+ site, Sb+2.40+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.07 Å. In the second Sb+2.40+ site, Sb+2.40+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.19 Å. In the third Sb+2.40+ site, Sb+2.40+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.08 Å. In the fourth Sb+2.40+ site, Sb+2.40+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.24 Å. In the fifth Sb+2.40+ site, Sb+2.40+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.03 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Fe+2.86+ and one Sb+2.40+ atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OFe3Sb tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Fe+2.86+ and two equivalent Sb+2.40+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Fe+2.86+ and one Sb+2.40+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OFe3Sb tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Fe+2.86+ and two Sb+2.40+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Fe+2.86+ and two Sb+2.40+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Fe+2.86+ and two Sb+2.40+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Sb+2.40+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Sb+2.40+ 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.
