Materials Data on Tl2(SeO4)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Tl2(SeO4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Tl3+ sites. In the first Tl3+ site, Tl3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TlO6 octahedra that share corners with six SeO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Tl–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.30 Å. In the second Tl3+ site, Tl3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TlO6 octahedra that share corners with six SeO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Tl–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.34 Å. There are three inequivalent Se6+ sites. In the first Se6+ site, Se6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four TlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–52°. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.67–1.69 Å. In the second Se6+ site, Se6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four TlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 34–51°. There is one shorter (1.67 Å) and three longer (1.68 Å) Se–O bond length. In the third Se6+ site, Se6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four TlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–53°. There is one shorter (1.67 Å) and three longer (1.68 Å) Se–O bond length. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Tl3+ and one Se6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Tl3+ and one Se6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Tl3+ and one Se6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Tl3+ and one Se6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Tl3+ and one Se6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Tl3+ and one Se6+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Tl3+ and one Se6+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Tl3+ and one Se6+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Tl3+ and one Se6+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Tl3+ and one Se6+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Tl3+ and one Se6+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Tl3+ and one Se6+ 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.
