Materials Data on IrRhBr6N5Cl by Materials Project

Abstract

IrRhN5Br6Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two IrRhN5Br6Cl ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. there are two inequivalent Ir5+ sites. In the first Ir5+ site, Ir5+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Br atoms. There are a spread of Ir–Br bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.57 Å. In the second Ir5+ site, Ir5+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Br atoms. There are a spread of Ir–Br bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.55 Å. There are two inequivalent Rh3+ sites. In the first Rh3+ site, Rh3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five N+1.40- and one Cl1- atom. There are a spread of Rh–N bond distances ranging from 1.73–2.07 Å. The Rh–Cl bond length is 2.53 Å. In the second Rh3+ site, Rh3+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four N+1.40- atoms. There are a spread of Rh–N bond distances ranging from 1.74–2.04 Å. There are seven inequivalent N+1.40- sites. In the first N+1.40- site, N+1.40- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh3+ atom. In the second N+1.40- site, N+1.40- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Rh3+ and one Br atom. The N–Br bond length is 1.91 Å. In the third N+1.40- site, N+1.40- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rh3+ and one Br atom. The N–Br bond length is 2.40 Å. In the fourth N+1.40- site, N+1.40- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Rh3+ and two equivalent Br atoms. Both N–Br bond lengths are 1.99 Å. In the fifth N+1.40- site, N+1.40- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh3+ atom. In the sixth N+1.40- site, N+1.40- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Br atoms. Both N–Br bond lengths are 1.93 Å. In the seventh N+1.40- site, N+1.40- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Rh3+ and one Cl1- atom. The N–Cl bond length is 1.64 Å. There are nine inequivalent Br sites. In the first Br site, Br is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ir5+ atom. In the second Br site, Br is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ir5+ and one N+1.40- atom. In the third Br site, Br is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ir5+ atom. In the fourth Br site, Br is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ir5+ atom. In the fifth Br site, Br is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ir5+ and two equivalent N+1.40- atoms. In the sixth Br site, Br is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ir5+ atom. In the seventh Br site, Br is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Ir5+ atom. In the eighth Br site, Br is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Ir5+ and one N+1.40- atom. In the ninth Br site, Br is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ir5+ and two equivalent N+1.40- atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rh3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+1.40- 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.
