Materials Data on Na4Cu4H18C8O23 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na4Cu4C8H18O23 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/n space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Na4Cu4C8H18O23 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NaO6 octahedra that share an edgeedge with one NaO6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent CuO5 square pyramids. There are two shorter (2.41 Å) and four longer (2.48 Å) Na–O bond lengths. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share an edgeedge with one NaO6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent CuO5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.46 Å. Cu1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted CuO5 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent CuO5 square pyramids, edges with two NaO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one CuO5 square pyramid. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.45 Å. There are two inequivalent C+2.50+ sites. In the first C+2.50+ site, C+2.50+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one H1+ and two O2- atoms. The C–H bond length is 1.11 Å. There is one shorter (1.24 Å) and one longer (1.29 Å) C–O bond length. In the second C+2.50+ site, C+2.50+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one H1+ and two O2- atoms. The C–H bond length is 1.11 Å. There is one shorter (1.26 Å) and one longer (1.28 Å) C–O bond length. There are five inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+2.50+ atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+2.50+ atom. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Cu1+, and one C+2.50+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Cu1+ and one H1+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Cu1+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Na1+ and two H1+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Na1+ and one C+2.50+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Na1+, one Cu1+, and one C+2.50+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, one Cu1+, and one C+2.50+ 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.
