Materials Data on As3Pb2BrO6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Pb2As3O6Br crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Pb2+ sites. In the first Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to eight O2- and one Br1- atom. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.96 Å. The Pb–Br bond length is 3.38 Å. In the second Pb2+ site, Pb2+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- and three equivalent Br1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.36 Å) and two longer (2.41 Å) Pb–O bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.46 Å) and one longer (3.76 Å) Pb–Br bond lengths. There are three inequivalent As3+ sites. In the first As3+ site, As3+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.80 Å) and one longer (1.89 Å) As–O bond length. In the second As3+ site, As3+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.81 Å) and two longer (1.85 Å) As–O bond length. In the third As3+ site, As3+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.78 Å) and two longer (1.88 Å) As–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Pb2+ and two As3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Pb2+ and one As3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two As3+ and one Br1- atom. The O–Br bond length is 3.47 Å. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three Pb2+ and one As3+ atom. Br1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Pb2+ and one O2- 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.
