Abstract

KRu2Zn2C4(O11Cl)2O2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four hydrogen peroxide molecules and one KRu2Zn2C4(O11Cl)2 framework. In the KRu2Zn2C4(O11Cl)2 framework, K is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six O and three Cl atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.92 Å. There are a spread of K–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.31 Å. There are two inequivalent Ru sites. In the first Ru site, Ru is bonded in a distorted square pyramidal geometry to four O and one Cl atom. All Ru–O bond lengths are 1.99 Å. The Ru–Cl bond length is 2.40 Å. In the second Ru site, Ru is bonded in a distorted square pyramidal geometry to four O and one Cl atom. There is two shorter (1.97 Å) and two longer (1.99 Å) Ru–O bond length. The Ru–Cl bond length is 2.39 Å. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O atoms. There are two shorter (2.02 Å) and four longer (2.19 Å) Zn–O bond lengths. In the second Zn site, Zn is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.57 Å. There are two 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 1.24–1.33 Å. In the second 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 1.24–1.33 Å. There are eleven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn and one C atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K, one Zn, and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.38 Å. In the third O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K, one Zn, and one O atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ru and one C atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.23 Å. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ru and one C atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one K, one Ru, and one C atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ru and one C atom. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zn atom. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn and one C atom. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K and one Ru atom. In the second Cl site, Cl is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one K and one Ru 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.
