Abstract

ZrC5N2H14(OF2)2H2O crystallizes in the orthorhombic Aea2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of eight water molecules and two ZrC5N2H14(OF2)2 sheets oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. In each ZrC5N2H14(OF2)2 sheet, Zr4+ is bonded to two O2- and five F1- atoms to form edge-sharing ZrO2F5 pentagonal bipyramids. There are one shorter (2.17 Å) and one longer (2.30 Å) Zr–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Zr–F bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.19 Å. There are five inequivalent C+0.80- sites. In the first C+0.80- site, C+0.80- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two N3- and one O2- atom. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.36 Å. The C–O bond length is 1.28 Å. In the second C+0.80- site, C+0.80- is bonded to one N3- and three H1+ atoms to form corner-sharing CH3N tetrahedra. The C–N bond length is 1.46 Å. All C–H bond lengths are 1.10 Å. In the third C+0.80- site, C+0.80- is bonded to one N3- and three H1+ atoms to form corner-sharing CH3N tetrahedra. The C–N bond length is 1.47 Å. There is one shorter (1.09 Å) and two longer (1.10 Å) C–H bond length. In the fourth C+0.80- site, C+0.80- is bonded to one N3- and three H1+ atoms to form corner-sharing CH3N tetrahedra. The C–N bond length is 1.46 Å. All C–H bond lengths are 1.10 Å. In the fifth C+0.80- site, C+0.80- is bonded to one N3- and three H1+ atoms to form corner-sharing CH3N tetrahedra. The C–N bond length is 1.46 Å. There is one shorter (1.09 Å) and two longer (1.10 Å) C–H bond length. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three C+0.80- atoms. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three C+0.80- atoms. There are fourteen 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 0.99 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one O2- and one F1- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. The H–F bond length is 1.63 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.80- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.80- atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.80- atom. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.80- atom. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.80- atom. In the eighth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.80- atom. In the ninth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.80- atom. In the tenth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.80- atom. In the eleventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.80- atom. In the twelfth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.80- atom. In the thirteenth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.80- atom. In the fourteenth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.80- atom. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Zr4+ and one C+0.80- atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Zr4+ and two H1+ atoms. There are four inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr4+ and one H1+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zr4+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zr4+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Zr4+ atoms.

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.
