Abstract

PdIr is Copper-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ir sites. In the first Ir site, Ir is bonded to six equivalent Ir and six equivalent Pd atoms to form IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent PdIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent PdIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra. All Ir–Ir bond lengths are 2.76 Å. All Ir–Pd bond lengths are 2.76 Å. In the second Ir site, Ir is bonded to six equivalent Ir and six Pd atoms to form IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with five equivalent PdIr6Pd10 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with ten PdIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with fifteen PdIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra. All Ir–Ir bond lengths are 2.76 Å. All Ir–Pd bond lengths are 2.76 Å. In the third Ir site, Ir is bonded to six equivalent Ir and six Pd atoms to form IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with five equivalent PdIr6Pd10 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with ten PdIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with fifteen PdIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra. All Ir–Ir bond lengths are 2.76 Å. All Ir–Pd bond lengths are 2.76 Å. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd is bonded to six Ir and six equivalent Pd atoms to form PdIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve PdIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve PdIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent PdIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra. All Pd–Pd bond lengths are 2.76 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd is bonded to six Ir and ten equivalent Pd atoms to form PdIr6Pd10 cuboctahedra that share corners with ten IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, corners with twelve PdIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with eight IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen PdIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra, faces with sixteen equivalent PdIr6Pd10 cuboctahedra, and faces with eighteen IrIr6Pd6 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Pd–Pd bond distances ranging from 2.76–5.52 Å.

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.
