Materials Data on AsC4N2F17 by Materials Project

Abstract

C4AsN2F17 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two C4AsN2F17 clusters. there are four inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded to one N2- and three F1- atoms to form corner-sharing CNF3 tetrahedra. The C–N bond length is 1.54 Å. There is one shorter (1.32 Å) and two longer (1.34 Å) C–F bond length. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two N2- and one F1- atom. There is one shorter (1.32 Å) and one longer (1.35 Å) C–N bond length. The C–F bond length is 1.32 Å. In the third C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one N2- and three F1- atoms. The C–N bond length is 1.45 Å. There is one shorter (1.33 Å) and two longer (1.36 Å) C–F bond length. In the fourth C4+ site, C4+ is bonded to one N2- and three F1- atoms to form corner-sharing CNF3 tetrahedra. The C–N bond length is 1.53 Å. All C–F bond lengths are 1.33 Å. As5+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of As–F bond distances ranging from 1.76–1.81 Å. There are two inequivalent N2- sites. In the first N2- site, N2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three C4+ atoms. In the second N2- site, N2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two C4+ and one F1- atom. The N–F bond length is 3.08 Å. There are twelve inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ and one F1- atom. The F–F bond length is 2.78 Å. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one N2- and three F1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.18 Å) and one longer (2.94 Å) F–F bond lengths. In the eighth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the ninth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the tenth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ and one F1- atom. In the eleventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ and one F1- atom. In the twelfth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ 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.
