Abstract

Fe7Sb3P3(O6Br)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Fe3+ sites. In the first Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to five O2- and one Br1- atom to form distorted FeBrO5 octahedra that share corners with three PO4 tetrahedra and edges with three FeBrO5 octahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.13–2.28 Å. The Fe–Br bond length is 2.62 Å. In the second Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to five O2- and one Br1- atom to form distorted FeBrO5 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent PO4 tetrahedra and edges with three FeBrO5 octahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.22 Å. The Fe–Br bond length is 2.64 Å. In the third Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to five O2- and one Br1- atom to form distorted FeBrO5 octahedra that share corners with three PO4 tetrahedra and edges with three FeBrO5 octahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.28 Å. The Fe–Br bond length is 2.61 Å. In the fourth Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and faces with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are two shorter (2.12 Å) and four longer (2.13 Å) Fe–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Sb1+ sites. In the first Sb1+ site, Sb1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.09 Å) and two longer (2.15 Å) Sb–O bond lengths. In the second Sb1+ site, Sb1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.07 Å) and two longer (2.17 Å) Sb–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with eight FeBrO5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 34–55°. There is three shorter (1.55 Å) and one longer (1.58 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with eight FeBrO5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 34–55°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.55–1.57 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Fe3+ and two equivalent Sb1+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OFe2Sb2 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Fe3+ and two equivalent Sb1+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OFe2Sb2 tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Fe3+ and two equivalent Sb1+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OFe2Sb2 tetrahedra. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Fe3+ and one P5+ atom. There are two inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Fe3+ atoms. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Fe3+ 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.
