Materials Data on Re2H4O9 by Materials Project

Abstract

Re2H4O9 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Re2H4O9 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Re7+ sites. In the first Re7+ site, Re7+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing ReO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Re–O bond distances ranging from 1.71–2.17 Å. In the second Re7+ site, Re7+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing ReO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 13°. There are a spread of Re–O bond distances ranging from 1.73–1.79 Å. There are four inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.04 Å) and one longer (1.55 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.00 Å) and one longer (1.65 Å) H–O bond length. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.55 Å) H–O bond length. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two Re7+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re7+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re7+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Re7+ and one H1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Re7+ and one H1+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re7+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Re7+ and one H1+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Re7+ and two H1+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Re7+ and two H1+ atoms.

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.
