Materials Data on MgFe4(S3O23)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

MgO10(Fe2S3O16)2(O2)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two oxygen molecules; one MgO10 cluster; and two Fe2S3O16 ribbons oriented in the (1, 1, 0) direction. In the MgO10 cluster, Mg is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.58 Å. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mg atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mg and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.32 Å. In the third O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mg atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. The O–O bond length is 1.26 Å. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. In each Fe2S3O16 ribbon, there are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.07 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.07 Å. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.45–1.54 Å. In the second S site, S is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.45–1.54 Å. In the third S site, S is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.45–1.55 Å. There are sixteen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one S atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one S atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe and one S atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one S atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one S atom. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe and one S atom. In the thirteenth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Fe and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.31 Å. In the fourteenth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Fe and one O atom. In the fifteenth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Fe and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.30 Å. In the sixteenth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Fe and 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.
