Materials Data on H6CN4O3 by Materials Project

Abstract

N2CH2(NO)2H4O crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two nitrogen molecules, two CH2(NO)2 clusters, and two H4O clusters. In each CH2(NO)2 cluster, C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two N1- atoms. There is one shorter (1.17 Å) and one longer (1.37 Å) C–N bond length. There are two inequivalent N1- sites. In the first N1- site, N1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second N1- site, N1- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one C4+ and two equivalent O2- atoms. Both N–O bond lengths are 1.43 Å. H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one N1- and one H1+ atom. In each H4O cluster, there are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one H1+ and one O2- atom. The H–H bond length is 0.92 Å. The H–O bond length is 1.17 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one H1+ atom. O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent 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.
