Materials Data on AsC3N3Cl3F7 by Materials Project

Abstract

(CNCl)3C3N3Cl3F2(AsF6)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium molecules; four AsF6 clusters; and two C3N3Cl3F2 clusters. In each AsF6 cluster, As5+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of As–F bond distances ranging from 1.77–1.79 Å. There are six inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In each C3N3Cl3F2 cluster, there are two inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two N+2.33- and one Cl1- atom. There is one shorter (1.32 Å) and one longer (1.39 Å) C–N bond length. The C–Cl bond length is 1.64 Å. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent N+2.33- and one Cl1- atom. Both C–N bond lengths are 1.36 Å. The C–Cl bond length is 1.62 Å. There are two inequivalent N+2.33- sites. In the first N+2.33- site, N+2.33- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two C4+ and one F1- atom. The N–F bond length is 1.35 Å. In the second N+2.33- site, N+2.33- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent C4+ atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+2.33- 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.
