Materials Data on TlInS2 by Materials Project

Abstract

TlInS2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tl1+ is bonded to two equivalent In3+ and six equivalent S2- atoms to form distorted TlIn2S6 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent TlIn2S6 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with six equivalent STl3InS trigonal bipyramids, edges with six equivalent TlIn2S6 hexagonal bipyramids, and edges with two equivalent STl3InS trigonal bipyramids. Both Tl–In bond lengths are 3.26 Å. There are four shorter (3.20 Å) and two longer (3.23 Å) Tl–S bond lengths. In3+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Tl1+ and two equivalent S2- atoms. Both In–S bond lengths are 3.04 Å. S2- is bonded to three equivalent Tl1+, one In3+, and one S2- atom to form distorted STl3InS trigonal bipyramids that share corners with three equivalent TlIn2S6 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with ten equivalent STl3InS trigonal bipyramids, an edgeedge with one TlIn2S6 hexagonal bipyramid, and edges with three equivalent STl3InS trigonal bipyramids. The S–S bond length is 2.10 Å.

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.
