Materials Data on NaCo4(CO5)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

NaO3Co4(CO4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of one NaO3 ribbon oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction and one Co4(CO4)3 framework. In the NaO3 ribbon, Na is bonded to six O atoms to form face-sharing NaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.22–2.37 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Na atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Na atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Na atoms. In the Co4(CO4)3 framework, there are four inequivalent Co sites. In the first Co site, Co is bonded to six O atoms to form edge-sharing CoO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.17 Å. In the second Co site, Co is bonded to six O atoms to form edge-sharing CoO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.16 Å. In the third Co site, Co is bonded to six O atoms to form edge-sharing CoO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.17 Å. In the fourth Co site, Co is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.32 Å. There are three inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There are a spread of C–O bond distances ranging from 1.28–1.31 Å. In the second C site, C is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There is two shorter (1.28 Å) and one longer (1.31 Å) C–O bond length. In the third C site, C is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There are a spread of C–O bond distances ranging from 1.28–1.31 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Co and one C atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Co and one C atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Co and one C atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co and one C atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co and one C atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Co and one C atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Co atoms. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Co atoms. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Co atoms. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Co and one C atom. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Co and one C atom. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Co and one C 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.
