Abstract

Ag(BBr)5B5CH6BBr crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of four bromoborane molecules; four B5CH6 clusters; and two Ag(BBr)5 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In each B5CH6 cluster, there are three inequivalent B+0.27+ sites. In the first B+0.27+ site, B+0.27+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one C4- and one H1+ atom. The B–C bond length is 1.70 Å. The B–H bond length is 1.19 Å. In the second B+0.27+ site, B+0.27+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one C4- and one H1+ atom. The B–C bond length is 1.70 Å. The B–H bond length is 1.19 Å. In the third B+0.27+ site, B+0.27+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one C4- and one H1+ atom. The B–C bond length is 1.70 Å. The B–H bond length is 1.19 Å. C4- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five B+0.27+ and one H1+ atom. The C–H bond length is 1.08 Å. There are four inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one B+0.27+ atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one B+0.27+ atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one B+0.27+ atom. In each Ag(BBr)5 ribbon, Ag1+ is bonded to six Br1- atoms to form corner-sharing AgBr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There are a spread of Ag–Br bond distances ranging from 2.83–3.02 Å. There are three inequivalent B+0.27+ sites. In the first B+0.27+ site, B+0.27+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Br1- atom. The B–Br bond length is 1.98 Å. In the second B+0.27+ site, B+0.27+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Br1- atom. The B–Br bond length is 1.97 Å. In the third B+0.27+ site, B+0.27+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Br1- atom. The B–Br bond length is 1.98 Å. There are three inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Ag1+ and one B+0.27+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Ag1+ and one B+0.27+ atom. In the third Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Ag1+ and one B+0.27+ 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.
