Materials Data on FeSbAs by Materials Project

Abstract

FeSbAs crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmn2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Fe3+ is bonded to three equivalent Sb2- and three equivalent As1- atoms to form FeSb3As3 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent FeSb3As3 octahedra, corners with three equivalent SbFe3As tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent AsFe3Sb tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent FeSb3As3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–52°. There are one shorter (2.55 Å) and two longer (2.59 Å) Fe–Sb bond lengths. There are one shorter (2.38 Å) and two longer (2.39 Å) Fe–As bond lengths. Sb2- is bonded to three equivalent Fe3+ and one As1- atom to form distorted SbFe3As tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent FeSb3As3 octahedra, corners with six equivalent SbFe3As tetrahedra, corners with seven equivalent AsFe3Sb tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one AsFe3Sb tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 72–76°. The Sb–As bond length is 2.73 Å. As1- is bonded to three equivalent Fe3+ and one Sb2- atom to form distorted AsFe3Sb tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent FeSb3As3 octahedra, corners with six equivalent AsFe3Sb tetrahedra, corners with seven equivalent SbFe3As tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one SbFe3As tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 70–75°.

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.
