Materials Data on Ba3Na2(CN2)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ba3Na2(CN2)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six N3- atoms to form face-sharing NaN6 octahedra. There are a spread of Na–N bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.74 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six N3- atoms to form face-sharing NaN6 octahedra. There are a spread of Na–N bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.72 Å. There are three inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight N3- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–N bond distances ranging from 2.72–3.28 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven N3- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–N bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.13 Å. In the third Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven N3- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–N bond distances ranging from 2.71–3.06 Å. There are five inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two N3- atoms. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.24 Å. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N3- atoms. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.24 Å. In the third C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two N3- atoms. There is one shorter (1.24 Å) and one longer (1.25 Å) C–N bond length. In the fourth C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two N3- atoms. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.24 Å. In the fifth C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N3- atoms. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.24 Å. There are eight inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, two Ba2+, and one C4+ atom. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, three Ba2+, and one C4+ atom. In the third N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Ba2+ and one C4+ atom. In the fourth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Ba2+ and one C4+ atom. In the fifth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, two Ba2+, and one C4+ atom. In the sixth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, three Ba2+, and one C4+ atom. In the seventh N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, three Ba2+, and one C4+ atom. In the eighth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, three Ba2+, and one C4+ 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.
