Materials Data on Rb2Mo3(As2O11)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb2Mo3(As2O11)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.37 Å. There are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted MoO6 octahedra that share corners with four AsO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.73–2.27 Å. In the second Mo site, Mo is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted MoO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent AsO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.73–2.23 Å. There are two inequivalent As sites. In the first As site, As is bonded to four O atoms to form AsO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent MoO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one AsO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–58°. There are a spread of As–O bond distances ranging from 1.69–1.80 Å. In the second As site, As is bonded to four O atoms to form AsO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three MoO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one AsO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–56°. There are a spread of As–O bond distances ranging from 1.69–1.77 Å. There are eleven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rb and one Mo atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Rb, one Mo, and one As atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rb and one Mo atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Rb, one Mo, and one As atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rb and one Mo atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Rb, one Mo, and one As atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Rb and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.23 Å. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two As atoms. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mo and one As atom. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Rb, one Mo, and one As atom. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Rb, one Mo, and one As 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.
