Materials Data on CuAg2(NO3)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ag2Cu(NO3)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ag1+ sites. In the first Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ag–O bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.97 Å. In the second Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ag–O bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.96 Å. There are two inequivalent Cu2+ sites. In the first Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (1.99 Å) and two longer (2.02 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. In the second Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. All Cu–O bond lengths are 2.01 Å. There are four inequivalent N5+ sites. In the first N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of N–O bond distances ranging from 1.25–1.30 Å. In the second N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of N–O bond distances ranging from 1.24–1.32 Å. In the third N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of N–O bond distances ranging from 1.24–1.31 Å. In the fourth N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.25 Å) and one longer (1.32 Å) N–O bond length. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ag1+, one Cu2+, and one N5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ag1+ and one N5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Ag1+ and one N5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ag1+, one Cu2+, and one N5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ag1+ and one N5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ag1+ and one N5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ag1+, one Cu2+, and one N5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Ag1+ and one N5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ag1+ and one N5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ag1+, one Cu2+, and one N5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ag1+ and one N5+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ag1+ and one N5+ 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.
