Materials Data on K2H17Ru2(SO6)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

K2Ru2H13(SO6)4(H2)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of two hydrogen molecules and one K2Ru2H13(SO6)4 framework. In the K2Ru2H13(SO6)4 framework, K1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.62–3.21 Å. Ru+2.50+ is bonded to one H1+ and five O2- atoms to form distorted RuHO5 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one SO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one RuHO5 octahedra. The Ru–H bond length is 1.56 Å. There are a spread of Ru–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.52 Å. There are seven inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru+2.50+ atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.54 Å) H–O bond length. In the fifth 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 sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both H–O bond lengths are 1.22 Å. There are two inequivalent S6+ sites. In the first S6+ site, S6+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.48 Å) and one longer (1.55 Å) S–O bond length. In the second S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one RuHO5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 37°. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.45–1.59 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ru+2.50+ and one O2- atom. The O–O bond length is 1.35 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one K1+, one H1+, and one O2- atom. The O–O bond length is 1.35 Å. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one K1+ and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one K1+ and two H1+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one H1+ and one S6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+ and one S6+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ru+2.50+ and one S6+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one H1+ and one S6+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ru+2.50+ and two H1+ atoms. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one O2- atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one K1+ and one O2- atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ru+2.50+ and one S6+ 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.
