Materials Data on Mg3B2H9SO13F by Materials Project

Abstract

Mg3B2H9SO13F crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to four O2- and one F1- atom to form distorted MgO4F trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one SO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent MgO4F trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.09 Å. The Mg–F bond length is 2.00 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to four O2- and one F1- atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MgO4F trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.15 Å. The Mg–F bond length is 1.99 Å. B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.35–1.41 Å. There are five inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and one longer (1.59 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both H–O bond lengths are 1.22 Å. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and one longer (1.58 Å) H–O bond length. S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MgO4F trigonal bipyramid. There is three shorter (1.49 Å) and one longer (1.51 Å) S–O bond length. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent H1+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mg2+ and two equivalent H1+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mg2+ and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mg2+, one B3+, and one H1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one H1+ and one S6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Mg2+ and one B3+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Mg2+, one B3+, and one H1+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Mg2+ and two H1+ atoms. F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Mg2+ 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.
