Materials Data on CoH12PdC4(NO3)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Co(CO3)4PdN4H12 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of two PdN4H12 clusters and one Co(CO3)4 framework. In each PdN4H12 cluster, Pd4+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent N3- atoms. All Pd–N bond lengths are 2.06 Å. N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Pd4+ and three H1+ atoms. All N–H bond lengths are 1.03 Å. There are three inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the Co(CO3)4 framework, Co4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent OO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.75 Å) and four longer (1.95 Å) Co–O bond length. C4+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.24 Å) and one longer (1.31 Å) C–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Co4+ and one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ and one O2- atom. The O–O bond length is 2.78 Å. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co4+ and two equivalent O2- atoms. Both O–O bond lengths are 2.85 Å. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four O2- atoms to form OO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one OO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°.

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.
