Abstract

Ca3SiCSO23O2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two hydrogen peroxide molecules and one Ca3SiCSO23 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the Ca3SiCSO23 sheet, there are three inequivalent Ca sites. In the first Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.89 Å. In the second Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.81 Å. In the third Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.59 Å. Si is bonded in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.64–1.98 Å. C is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There is one shorter (1.21 Å) and two longer (1.38 Å) C–O bond length. S is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.47–1.51 Å. There are twenty-three inequivalent O sites.

In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.23 Å. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ca, one Si, and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.40 Å. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ca, one Si, and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.33 Å. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Ca and one Si atom. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ca, one Si, and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.36 Å.

In the fifteenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ca and one O atom. In the sixteenth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ca and one O atom. In the seventeenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ca and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.23 Å. In the eighteenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ca and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.24 Å. In the nineteenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. In the twentieth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. In the twenty-first O site, O is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ca and one O atom. In the twenty-second O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ca and one O 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.
