Materials Data on FeSnPt by Materials Project

Abstract

FePtSn crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Fe and three equivalent Pt atoms. All Fe–Fe bond lengths are 2.55 Å. All Fe–Pt bond lengths are 2.70 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Fe and three equivalent Pt atoms. All Fe–Fe bond lengths are 2.53 Å. All Fe–Pt bond lengths are 2.72 Å. In the third Fe site, Fe is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to three equivalent Fe, two Pt, and three equivalent Sn atoms. There are one shorter (2.42 Å) and one longer (2.64 Å) Fe–Pt bond lengths. All Fe–Sn bond lengths are 2.58 Å. In the fourth Fe site, Fe is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to three equivalent Fe, two Pt, and three equivalent Sn atoms. There are one shorter (2.41 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) Fe–Pt bond lengths. All Fe–Sn bond lengths are 2.62 Å. There are four inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt is bonded to six Sn atoms to form distorted edge-sharing PtSn6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.72 Å) and three longer (2.77 Å) Pt–Sn bond lengths. In the second Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Fe and six Sn atoms. There are a spread of Pt–Sn bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.78 Å. In the third Pt site, Pt is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to five Fe and three equivalent Sn atoms. There are two shorter (2.73 Å) and one longer (2.74 Å) Pt–Sn bond lengths. In the fourth Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four Fe and three equivalent Sn atoms. All Pt–Sn bond lengths are 2.69 Å. There are four inequivalent Sn sites. In the first Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Pt atoms. In the second Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Fe and three equivalent Pt atoms. In the third Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Fe and three equivalent Pt atoms. In the fourth Sn site, Sn is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Pt 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.
