Abstract

K3RhC5N5HO crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six N3- atoms. There are a spread of K–N bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.36 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six N3-, one H1+, and one O2- atom. There are a spread of K–N bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.38 Å. The K–H bond length is 2.81 Å. The K–O bond length is 3.18 Å. In the third K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five N3- and one O2- atom. There are a spread of K–N bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.29 Å. The K–O bond length is 2.92 Å. Rh3+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one N3- and one H1+ atom. The Rh–N bond length is 2.29 Å. The Rh–H bond length is 1.61 Å. There are five inequivalent C2+ sites. In the first C2+ site, C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.18 Å. In the second C2+ site, C2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one N3- and one O2- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.21 Å. The C–O bond length is 1.21 Å. In the third C2+ site, C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.18 Å. In the fourth C2+ site, C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.18 Å. In the fifth C2+ site, C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.18 Å. There are five inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four K1+ and one C2+ atom. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four K1+ and one C2+ 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.
