Abstract

Yb2Te(Mo3O19)2(O2)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of four hydrogen peroxide molecules and one Yb2Te(Mo3O19)2 sheet oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In the Yb2Te(Mo3O19)2 sheet, Yb is bonded in a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry to seven O atoms. There are a spread of Yb–O bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.53 Å. There are three inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.71–2.62 Å. In the second Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.71–2.22 Å. In the third Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.72–2.31 Å. Te is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.14 Å. There are nineteen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Mo, one Te, and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.34 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Mo and one Te atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Mo and one Te atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Mo atoms. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Mo atoms. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Mo and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.33 Å. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb and one Mo atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo atom. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb and one Mo atom. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo atom. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo atom. In the thirteenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Yb and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.32 Å. In the fourteenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb and one O atom. In the fifteenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb and one O atom. In the sixteenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.23 Å. In the seventeenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.32 Å. In the eighteenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. In the nineteenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O 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.
