Materials Data on Rb6Fe2O5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb6Fe2O5 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing RbO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.96 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.11 Å. In the third Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (3.00 Å) and two longer (3.31 Å) Rb–O bond lengths. In the fourth Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.89–3.29 Å. There are two inequivalent Fe2+ sites. In the first Fe2+ site, Fe2+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.90 Å) and one longer (1.95 Å) Fe–O bond length. In the second Fe2+ site, Fe2+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.91 Å) and one longer (1.95 Å) Fe–O bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to six Rb1+ and one Fe2+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to six Rb1+ and one Fe2+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Rb1+ and two Fe2+ 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.
