Materials Data on Rb2Mo3O11 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb2Mo3O11 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.37 Å. In the second Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.29 Å. There are three inequivalent Mo sites. In the first 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 1.74–2.27 Å. In the second 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 1.74–2.27 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 1.74–2.34 Å. There are eleven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rb and three Mo atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Rb and three Mo atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rb and one Mo atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rb and one Mo atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two Rb atoms. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mo atoms. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mo atoms. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Rb and one Mo atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rb and one Mo atom. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Rb and one Mo atom. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb and one Mo 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.
