Materials Data on Mo2RuSe4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Mo2RuSe4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mo3+ sites. In the first Mo3+ site, Mo3+ is bonded to five Se2- atoms to form MoSe5 square pyramids that share corners with two MoSe5 square pyramids, corners with two RuSe5 square pyramids, edges with two RuSe5 square pyramids, and edges with three MoSe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Se bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.68 Å. In the second Mo3+ site, Mo3+ is bonded to five Se2- atoms to form MoSe5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one RuSe5 square pyramid, corners with three MoSe5 square pyramids, edges with two RuSe5 square pyramids, and edges with three MoSe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Se bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.68 Å. In the third Mo3+ site, Mo3+ is bonded to five Se2- atoms to form MoSe5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one RuSe5 square pyramid, corners with three MoSe5 square pyramids, edges with two RuSe5 square pyramids, and edges with three MoSe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Se bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.67 Å. In the fourth Mo3+ site, Mo3+ is bonded to five Se2- atoms to form MoSe5 square pyramids that share corners with two MoSe5 square pyramids, corners with two RuSe5 square pyramids, edges with two RuSe5 square pyramids, and edges with three MoSe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Mo–Se bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.69 Å. There are two inequivalent Ru2+ sites. In the first Ru2+ site, Ru2+ is bonded to five Se2- atoms to form RuSe5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one RuSe5 square pyramid, corners with three MoSe5 square pyramids, an edgeedge with one RuSe5 square pyramid, and edges with four MoSe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Ru–Se bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.66 Å. In the second Ru2+ site, Ru2+ is bonded to five Se2- atoms to form RuSe5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one RuSe5 square pyramid, corners with three MoSe5 square pyramids, an edgeedge with one RuSe5 square pyramid, and edges with four MoSe5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Ru–Se bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.67 Å. There are eight inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Mo3+ and two Ru2+ atoms. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three Mo3+ atoms. In the third Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Mo3+ and one Ru2+ atom. In the fourth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Mo3+ and two Ru2+ atoms. In the fifth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Mo3+ and one Ru2+ atom. In the sixth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Mo3+ and one Ru2+ atom. In the seventh Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Mo3+ and one Ru2+ atom. In the eighth Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Mo3+ and two Ru2+ 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.
