Materials Data on K2NaZn2H5(C2O7)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

K2NaZn2H5(C2O7)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one H1+ and nine O2- atoms. The K–H bond length is 2.94 Å. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.22 Å. Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent ZnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.69 Å. Zn2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form ZnO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent NaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 67–84°. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.22 Å. There are two inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.29 Å) and two longer (1.31 Å) C–O bond length. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of C–O bond distances ranging from 1.29–1.32 Å. There are three inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both H–O bond lengths are 1.22 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and one longer (1.64 Å) H–O bond length. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one K1+ and one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Zn2+, and one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Na1+, one Zn2+, and one C4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one K1+, one Zn2+, and two H1+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Na1+, one Zn2+, and one C4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one Na1+, one C4+, and one H1+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent K1+, one C4+, and one H1+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Zn2+, and one C4+ 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.
