Materials Data on SnOs2Ru by Materials Project

Abstract

Os2RuSn crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Os2- sites. In the first Os2- site, Os2- is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Os2- and four equivalent Sn2+ atoms. All Os–Os bond lengths are 2.75 Å. All Os–Sn bond lengths are 2.75 Å. In the second Os2- site, Os2- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Os2-, four equivalent Ru2+, and six equivalent Sn2+ atoms. All Os–Ru bond lengths are 2.75 Å. All Os–Sn bond lengths are 3.17 Å. Ru2+ is bonded to four equivalent Os2- atoms to form distorted RuOs4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent RuOs4 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent SnOs10 tetrahedra, and faces with four equivalent SnOs10 tetrahedra. Sn2+ is bonded to ten Os2- atoms to form distorted SnOs10 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent SnOs10 tetrahedra, corners with twelve equivalent RuOs4 tetrahedra, faces with four equivalent RuOs4 tetrahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent SnOs10 tetrahedra.

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.
