Materials Data on Na4Sb2C4SO16 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na4C4Sb2SO16 crystallizes in the orthorhombic F222 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with six NaO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 61–83°. There are four shorter (2.47 Å) and two longer (2.52 Å) Na–O bond lengths. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with six NaO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 61–84°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.52 Å. In the third Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with four NaO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 61°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.50 Å. In the fourth Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with four NaO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent SbO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 83–84°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.59 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 two shorter (1.30 Å) and one 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 1.29–1.31 Å. Sb3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share edges with four NaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.22–2.42 Å. There are two inequivalent S6+ sites. In the first S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share edges with two equivalent NaO6 octahedra. All S–O bond lengths are 1.50 Å. In the second S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share edges with six NaO6 octahedra. All S–O bond lengths are 1.50 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Na1+ and one S6+ atom to form distorted edge-sharing ONa3S trigonal pyramids. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Na1+, one C4+, and one Sb3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, one C4+, and one Sb3+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one C4+, and one Sb3+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one C4+, and one Sb3+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one C4+, and one Sb3+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Na1+ and one S6+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one C4+, and one Sb3+ 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.
