Materials Data on Na2H4PtC4Br2(N2O)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na2PtC4H4Br2(N2O)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded to four N3- and two equivalent O2- atoms to form distorted face-sharing NaN4O2 octahedra. There are a spread of Na–N bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.72 Å. There are one shorter (2.42 Å) and one longer (2.44 Å) Na–O bond lengths. Pt2- is bonded in an octahedral geometry to four C+3.50+ and two Br1- atoms. All Pt–C bond lengths are 2.02 Å. There are one shorter (2.52 Å) and one longer (2.53 Å) Pt–Br bond lengths. There are two inequivalent C+3.50+ sites. In the first C+3.50+ site, C+3.50+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one Pt2- and one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.17 Å. In the second C+3.50+ site, C+3.50+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one Pt2- and one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.17 Å. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Na1+ and one C+3.50+ atom. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Na1+ and one C+3.50+ atom. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the second H1+ site, 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 distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Na1+ and two H1+ atoms. There are two inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt2- atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt2- 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.
