Materials Data on Pr2Te(Mo3O23)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Pr2Te(MoO7)6(O2)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two oxygen molecules and one Pr2Te(MoO7)6 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the Pr2Te(MoO7)6 sheet, Pr is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.80 Å. There are three inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.72–2.59 Å. In the second Mo site, Mo is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.71–2.55 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 1.72–2.38 Å. Te is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.12 Å. There are twenty-one inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.23 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Mo and one Te atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a linear geometry to one Pr and one Mo atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Pr and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.41 Å. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.24 Å. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Mo atoms. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Pr and one Mo atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.26 Å) and one longer (1.35 Å) O–O bond length. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo atom. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Pr and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.24 Å. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Pr and one O atom. In the thirteenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Pr and one O atom. In the fourteenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo atom. In the fifteenth O site, O is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two Mo, one Te, and one O atom. In the sixteenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Mo atoms. In the seventeenth O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Mo and one Te atom. In the eighteenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo atom. In the nineteenth O site, O is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Pr and one O atom. In the twentieth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Mo atoms. In the twenty-first 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.
