Materials Data on Na2Sb8S13O2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na2Sb8S13O2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Na2Sb8S13O2 sheets oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Na1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four S2- and two O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–S bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.34 Å. There are one shorter (2.32 Å) and one longer (2.41 Å) Na–O bond lengths. There are four inequivalent Sb+3.50+ sites. In the first Sb+3.50+ site, Sb+3.50+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three S2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.44 Å) and two longer (2.53 Å) Sb–S bond lengths. In the second Sb+3.50+ site, Sb+3.50+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three S2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–S bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.50 Å. In the third Sb+3.50+ site, Sb+3.50+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three S2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–S bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.53 Å. In the fourth Sb+3.50+ site, Sb+3.50+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three S2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–S bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.53 Å. There are seven inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sb+3.50+ and two O2- atoms. There are one shorter (3.16 Å) and one longer (3.55 Å) S–O bond lengths. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+ and two Sb+3.50+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+ and two Sb+3.50+ atoms. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+ and two Sb+3.50+ atoms. In the fifth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sb+3.50+ atom. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+ and two Sb+3.50+ atoms. In the seventh S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two Sb+3.50+ atoms. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Na1+ and one S2- atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Na1+ and one S2- 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.
