Materials Data on CdRe2H16C4S4(NO)8 by Materials Project

Abstract

Re2CdC4H16S4(NO)8 is beta Polonium structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two Re2CdC4H16S4(NO)8 clusters. Re7+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form ReO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CdS4O2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 38°. There is three shorter (1.75 Å) and one longer (1.77 Å) Re–O bond length. Cd2+ is bonded to four S2- and two equivalent O2- atoms to form CdS4O2 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent ReO4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.67 Å) and two longer (2.74 Å) Cd–S bond lengths. Both Cd–O bond lengths are 2.43 Å. There are two inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two N3- and one S2- atom. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.34 Å. The C–S bond length is 1.72 Å. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two N3- and one S2- atom. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.33 Å. The C–S bond length is 1.73 Å. There are four inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C4+ and two H1+ atoms. Both N–H bond lengths are 1.02 Å. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C4+ and two H1+ atoms. Both N–H bond lengths are 1.02 Å. In the third N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C4+ and two equivalent H1+ atoms. Both N–H bond lengths are 1.02 Å. In the fourth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C4+ and two H1+ atoms. Both N–H bond lengths are 1.02 Å. There are seven inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Cd2+ and one C4+ atom. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Cd2+ and one C4+ atom. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Re7+ and one Cd2+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re7+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re7+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re7+ 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.
