Abstract

CsNa3TiO4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cs1+ sites. In the first Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.60 Å. In the second Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.33 Å. There are six inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted NaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO4 tetrahedra, corners with six NaO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one NaO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one TiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.53 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.95 Å. In the third Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted NaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two TiO4 tetrahedra, corners with three NaO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one NaO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one TiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.47 Å. In the fourth Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted NaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two TiO4 tetrahedra, corners with five NaO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one NaO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one TiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.51 Å. In the fifth Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted NaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three NaO4 tetrahedra, corners with four TiO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two NaO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.63 Å. In the sixth Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form NaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three NaO4 tetrahedra, corners with four TiO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one NaO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.47 Å. There are two inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form TiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six NaO4 tetrahedra and edges with two NaO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.85 Å) and one longer (1.86 Å) Ti–O bond length. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form TiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with eight NaO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one NaO4 tetrahedra. All Ti–O bond lengths are 1.85 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs1+, three Na1+, and one Ti4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+, four Na1+, and one Ti4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs1+, three Na1+, and one Ti4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+, three Na1+, and one Ti4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+, three Na1+, and one Ti4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+, three Na1+, and one Ti4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+, three Na1+, and one Ti4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+, three Na1+, and one Ti4+ 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.
