Materials Data on Ag2BrNO3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ag2NO3Br crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ag1+ sites. In the first Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded to six O2- and two equivalent Br1- atoms to form distorted AgBr2O6 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent AgBr2O6 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with five equivalent AgBr3O4 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with three equivalent AgBr3O4 pentagonal bipyramids, faces with two equivalent AgBr2O6 hexagonal bipyramids, and a faceface with one AgBr3O4 pentagonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Ag–O bond distances ranging from 2.67–2.98 Å. There are one shorter (2.71 Å) and one longer (2.73 Å) Ag–Br bond lengths. In the second Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- and three equivalent Br1- atoms to form distorted AgBr3O4 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with five equivalent AgBr2O6 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with two equivalent AgBr3O4 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with three equivalent AgBr2O6 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent AgBr3O4 pentagonal bipyramids, and a faceface with one AgBr2O6 hexagonal bipyramid. There are two shorter (2.71 Å) and two longer (2.75 Å) Ag–O bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.87 Å) and one longer (3.00 Å) Ag–Br bond lengths. N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. All N–O bond lengths are 1.27 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Ag1+ and one N5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Ag1+ and one N5+ atom. Br1- is bonded to five Ag1+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing BrAg5 trigonal bipyramids.

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.
