Materials Data on Ba4Na2W2O11 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ba4Na2W2O11 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NaO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent WO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent WO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–3°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.26–2.42 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted NaO5 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent WO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent WO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 10°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.63 Å. There are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.70–3.23 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.70–3.25 Å. There are two inequivalent W6+ sites. In the first W6+ site, W6+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form WO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent NaO6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent NaO5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 7°. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–1.94 Å. In the second W6+ site, W6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent NaO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent NaO5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–3°. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–1.99 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Na1+, four Ba2+, and one W6+ atom to form distorted OBa4NaW octahedra that share corners with two equivalent OBa4NaW octahedra, corners with four OBa2NaW trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent OBa4NaW octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Na1+, four Ba2+, and one W6+ atom to form distorted OBa4NaW octahedra that share corners with two equivalent OBa4NaW octahedra, corners with four OBa2NaW trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent OBa4NaW octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, four Ba2+, and one W6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, four Ba2+, and one W6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, four Ba2+, and one W6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, four Ba2+, and one W6+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Na1+, four Ba2+, and one W6+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Na1+, two equivalent Ba2+, and one W6+ atom to form distorted OBa2NaW trigonal pyramids that share corners with four OBa4NaW octahedra and corners with two equivalent OBa2NaW trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–59°. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Na1+, two equivalent Ba2+, and one W6+ atom to form distorted OBa2NaW trigonal pyramids that share corners with four OBa4NaW octahedra and corners with two equivalent OBa2NaW trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–59°.

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.
