Abstract

Au2Ag6Se3S crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Au1+ sites. In the first Au1+ site, Au1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six Ag1+, one Se2-, and one S2- atom. There are a spread of Au–Ag bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.14 Å. The Au–Se bond length is 2.51 Å. The Au–S bond length is 2.37 Å. In the second Au1+ site, Au1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six Ag1+ and two Se2- atoms. There are a spread of Au–Ag bond distances ranging from 3.07–3.13 Å. There are one shorter (2.50 Å) and one longer (2.51 Å) Au–Se bond lengths. There are eight inequivalent Ag1+ sites. In the first Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Au1+, two equivalent Se2-, and two equivalent S2- atoms. Both Ag–Se bond lengths are 2.77 Å.

There are two shorter (2.76 Å) and two longer (2.90 Å) Ag–Se bond lengths. In the third Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Au1+ and four Se2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.77 Å) and two longer (2.90 Å) Ag–Se bond lengths. In the fourth Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Au1+, two equivalent Se2-, and two equivalent S2- atoms. Both Ag–Se bond lengths are 2.93 Å. Both Ag–S bond lengths are 2.73 Å. In the fifth Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two Au1+, three Se2-, and one S2- atom. There are a spread of Ag–Se bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.93 Å. The Ag–S bond length is 2.86 Å. In the sixth Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Au1+, three Se2-, and one S2- atom. There are a spread of Ag–Se bond distances ranging from 2.77–2.94 Å. The Ag–S bond length is 2.71 Å. In the seventh Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two Au1+, three Se2-, and one S2- atom. There are two shorter (2.76 Å) and one longer (2.94 Å) Ag–Se bond lengths. The Ag–S bond length is 2.85 Å. In the eighth Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Au1+, three Se2-, and one S2- atom. There are a spread of Ag–Se bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.93 Å. The Ag–S bond length is 2.71 Å. There are three inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Au1+ and six Ag1+ atoms. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Au1+ and six Ag1+ atoms. In the third Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Au1+ and six Ag1+ atoms. S2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Au1+ and six Ag1+ 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.
