Materials Data on Na9H4S4BrO20 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na9H4(SO5)4Br crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/n space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four hydrobromic acid molecules and one Na9H4(SO5)4 framework. In the Na9H4(SO5)4 framework, there are six inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted NaO5 square pyramids that share corners with four SO4 tetrahedra, corners with three NaO5 trigonal bipyramids, and an edgeedge with one NaO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.58 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.58 Å) and four longer (2.62 Å) Na–O bond lengths. In the third Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted NaO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with three NaO5 square pyramids, corners with four SO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one NaO5 square pyramid. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.54 Å. In the fourth Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form NaO5 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent NaO5 square pyramids, corners with four SO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one NaO5 trigonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one NaO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.53 Å. In the fifth Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.55 Å) and four longer (2.67 Å) Na–O bond lengths. In the sixth Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted NaO5 trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one NaO5 square pyramid, corners with four SO4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent NaO5 trigonal bipyramids, and an edgeedge with one NaO5 square pyramid. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.57 Å. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.73 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.74 Å) H–O bond length. There are two inequivalent S+5.50+ sites. In the first S+5.50+ site, S+5.50+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four NaO5 square pyramids and corners with four NaO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.51 Å. In the second S+5.50+ site, S+5.50+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four NaO5 square pyramids and corners with four NaO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.48–1.51 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Na1+ and one S+5.50+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Na1+ and one S+5.50+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ONa3S trigonal pyramids. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Na1+ and one H1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, one H1+, and one S+5.50+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Na1+ and one S+5.50+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, one H1+, and one S+5.50+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Na1+ and one H1+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Na1+ and one S+5.50+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing ONa3S trigonal pyramids. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Na1+ and one S+5.50+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Na1+ and one S+5.50+ 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.
