Materials Data on AlCoH10O7F5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Co(H4O3)2CoAl2H12(O4F5)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Co(H4O3)2 clusters and one CoAl2H12(O4F5)2 sheet oriented in the (2, 0, -1) direction. In each Co(H4O3)2 cluster, Co is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–2.15 Å. There are four inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the second H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the third H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the fourth H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Co and two H atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Co and two equivalent H atoms. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Co and two equivalent H atoms. In the CoAl2H12(O4F5)2 sheet, Co is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O atoms. There are three shorter (2.01 Å) and three longer (2.03 Å) Co–O bond lengths. Al is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to one O and five F atoms. The Al–O bond length is 1.98 Å. There are a spread of Al–F bond distances ranging from 1.73–1.88 Å. There are six inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one O and one F atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. The H–F bond length is 1.60 Å. In the second H site, H is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one O and one F atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. The H–F bond length is 1.55 Å. In the third H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the fourth H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the fifth H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the sixth H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Co and two equivalent H atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Co and two equivalent H atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Co and two H atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Co and two H atoms. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al atom. There are five inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Al and one H atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al and one H atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al atom. In the fourth F site, F is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Al atom. In the fifth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al 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.
