Materials Data on H2Ru3C8SO8 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ru3H2S(CO)8 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of forty-eight formaldehyde molecules and two Ru3H2S clusters. In each Ru3H2S cluster, there are nine inequivalent Ru+2.67+ sites. In the first Ru+2.67+ site, Ru+2.67+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two H1+ and two S2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.73 Å) and one longer (1.81 Å) Ru–H bond length. There are one shorter (2.38 Å) and one longer (2.46 Å) Ru–S bond lengths. In the second Ru+2.67+ site, Ru+2.67+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one H1+ and one S2- atom. The Ru–H bond length is 1.88 Å. The Ru–S bond length is 2.34 Å. In the third Ru+2.67+ site, Ru+2.67+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one H1+ and one S2- atom. The Ru–H bond length is 1.83 Å. The Ru–S bond length is 2.38 Å. In the fourth Ru+2.67+ site, Ru+2.67+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two H1+ and two S2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.74 Å) and one longer (1.84 Å) Ru–H bond length. There are one shorter (2.38 Å) and one longer (2.42 Å) Ru–S bond lengths. In the fifth Ru+2.67+ site, Ru+2.67+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one H1+ and one S2- atom. The Ru–H bond length is 1.89 Å. The Ru–S bond length is 2.36 Å. In the sixth Ru+2.67+ site, Ru+2.67+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one H1+ and one S2- atom. The Ru–H bond length is 1.83 Å. The Ru–S bond length is 2.38 Å. In the seventh Ru+2.67+ site, Ru+2.67+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one H1+ and one S2- atom. The Ru–H bond length is 1.85 Å. The Ru–S bond length is 2.34 Å. In the eighth Ru+2.67+ site, Ru+2.67+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one H1+ and one S2- atom. The Ru–H bond length is 1.84 Å. The Ru–S bond length is 2.39 Å. In the ninth Ru+2.67+ site, Ru+2.67+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two H1+ and two S2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.72 Å) and one longer (1.80 Å) Ru–H bond length. There are one shorter (2.38 Å) and one longer (2.44 Å) Ru–S bond lengths. There are six inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Ru+2.67+ atoms. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Ru+2.67+ atoms. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Ru+2.67+ atoms. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Ru+2.67+ atoms. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Ru+2.67+ atoms. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Ru+2.67+ atoms. There are three inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Ru+2.67+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Ru+2.67+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Ru+2.67+ 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.
