Abstract

Na5H4O4Br crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are seven inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to two equivalent H1+, four O2-, and two equivalent Br1- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing NaH2Br2O4 hexagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. Both Na–H bond lengths are 2.57 Å. There are two shorter (2.42 Å) and two longer (2.57 Å) Na–O bond lengths. Both Na–Br bond lengths are 3.17 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two H1+, four O2-, and two equivalent Br1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.52 Å) and one longer (2.55 Å) Na–H bond lengths. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.55 Å. There are one shorter (3.05 Å) and one longer (3.13 Å) Na–Br bond lengths. In the third Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four O2- and two equivalent Br1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.39 Å) and three longer (2.41 Å) Na–O bond lengths. Both Na–Br bond lengths are 3.30 Å. In the fourth Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to four O2- and two equivalent Br1- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing NaBr2O4 octahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.44 Å. Both Na–Br bond lengths are 3.11 Å. In the fifth Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two H1+, four O2-, and two equivalent Br1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.40 Å) and one longer (2.70 Å) Na–H bond lengths. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.77 Å. Both Na–Br bond lengths are 3.20 Å. In the sixth Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- and two equivalent Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.46 Å. There are one shorter (3.23 Å) and one longer (3.35 Å) Na–Br bond lengths. In the seventh Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- and two equivalent Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.45 Å. There are one shorter (3.21 Å) and one longer (3.22 Å) Na–Br bond lengths. There are five inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Na1+ and one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Na1+ and one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Na1+ and one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Na1+ and one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Na1+ and one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Na1+ and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Na1+ and one H1+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Na1+ and one H1+ 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.
