Abstract

Na5Sr2B10(CO13)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Na sites. In the first Na site, Na is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.54 Å. In the second Na site, Na is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with two BO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one BO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.59 Å. In the third Na site, Na is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.63 Å. Sr is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.89 Å. There are five inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B is bonded to four O atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one NaO6 octahedra and corners with two BO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.51 Å. In the second B site, B is bonded to four O atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two BO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one NaO6 octahedra. There is two shorter (1.46 Å) and two longer (1.51 Å) B–O bond length. In the third B site, B is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.36–1.39 Å. In the fourth B site, B is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.36–1.40 Å. In the fifth B site, B is bonded to four O atoms to form BO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one NaO6 octahedra and corners with two BO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 68°. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.45–1.48 Å. C is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. All C–O bond lengths are 1.29 Å. There are thirteen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sr and two B atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Na and one B atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Na, one Sr, and one C atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Na, one Sr, and one C atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Na, one Sr, and two B atoms. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Na, one Sr, and two B atoms. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sr and two B atoms. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sr and one B atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two Na and two B atoms. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Na, one Sr, and two B atoms. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Na and two B atoms. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Na and one C atom. In the thirteenth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Na, one Sr, and two B atoms.

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.
