Abstract

Pd13Ag3Pb6 crystallizes in the trigonal P3_121 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are eight inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five Pd, two Ag, and four Pb atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.14 Å. Both Pd–Ag bond lengths are 2.84 Å. There are a spread of Pd–Pb bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.92 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six Pd, two Ag, and five Pb atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.11 Å. There are one shorter (2.84 Å) and one longer (3.31 Å) Pd–Ag bond lengths. There are a spread of Pd–Pb bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.28 Å. In the third Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five Pd, three Ag, and three Pb atoms. There are a spread of Pd–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.16 Å. There are a spread of Pd–Ag bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.89 Å. There are a spread of Pd–Pb bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.88 Å. In the fourth Pd site, Pd is bonded to six Pd, two equivalent Ag, and four Pb atoms to form distorted PdAg2Pd6Pb4 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent PdAg2Pd6Pb4 cuboctahedra and faces with four equivalent PdAgPd6Pb5 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.86 Å) and two longer (3.01 Å) Pd–Pd bond lengths. Both Pd–Ag bond lengths are 2.92 Å. There are two shorter (2.94 Å) and two longer (3.00 Å) Pd–Pb bond lengths. In the fifth Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six Pd, two equivalent Ag, and four Pb atoms. There are two shorter (2.82 Å) and two longer (3.10 Å) Pd–Pd bond lengths. Both Pd–Ag bond lengths are 2.88 Å. There are two shorter (2.80 Å) and two longer (2.90 Å) Pd–Pb bond lengths. In the sixth Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five Pd, one Ag, and five Pb atoms. There are one shorter (2.98 Å) and one longer (3.08 Å) Pd–Pd bond lengths. The Pd–Ag bond length is 2.81 Å. There are a spread of Pd–Pb bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.06 Å. In the seventh Pd site, Pd is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six Pd, two equivalent Ag, and four Pb atoms. Both Pd–Ag bond lengths are 2.88 Å. There are two shorter (2.75 Å) and two longer (2.86 Å) Pd–Pb bond lengths. In the eighth Pd site, Pd is bonded to six Pd, one Ag, and five Pb atoms to form distorted PdAgPd6Pb5 cuboctahedra that share a cornercorner with one PdAgPd6Pb5 cuboctahedra and faces with four PdAg2Pd6Pb4 cuboctahedra.

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.
