Abstract

InPt2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are ten inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt is bonded to seven Pt and five In atoms to form distorted PtIn5Pt7 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve PtIn5Pt7 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent InPt12 cuboctahedra, edges with six PtIn4Pt8 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent InPt12 cuboctahedra, and faces with nine PtIn5Pt7 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Pt–Pt bond distances ranging from 2.84–2.96 Å. There are three shorter (2.84 Å) and two longer (2.88 Å) Pt–In bond lengths. In the second Pt site, Pt is bonded to six Pt and six In atoms to form distorted PtIn6Pt6 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve PtIn5Pt7 cuboctahedra and faces with six PtIn6Pt6 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.88 Å) and four longer (2.95 Å) Pt–Pt bond lengths. There are four shorter (2.88 Å) and two longer (2.93 Å) Pt–In bond lengths. In the third Pt site, Pt is bonded to eight Pt and four equivalent In atoms to form distorted PtIn4Pt8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve PtIn5Pt7 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent InPt12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight PtIn4Pt8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent InPt12 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten PtIn5Pt7 cuboctahedra.

There are two shorter (2.92 Å) and two longer (2.94 Å) Pt–Pt bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.81 Å) and two longer (2.90 Å) Pt–In bond lengths. In the sixth Pt site, Pt is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to eight Pt and four equivalent In atoms. All Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.97 Å. All Pt–In bond lengths are 2.81 Å.

In the eighth Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six Pt and six In atoms. There are a spread of Pt–In bond distances ranging from 2.78–3.00 Å. In the ninth Pt site, Pt is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight Pt and four In atoms. Both Pt–Pt bond lengths are 2.82 Å. There are a spread of Pt–In bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.90 Å. In the tenth Pt site, Pt is bonded to eight Pt and four equivalent In atoms to form PtIn4Pt8 cuboctahedra that share corners with ten PtIn4Pt8 cuboctahedra, edges with four equivalent InPt12 cuboctahedra, edges with eight PtIn5Pt7 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent InPt12 cuboctahedra, and faces with ten PtIn5Pt7 cuboctahedra. All Pt–In bond lengths are 2.95 Å. There are four inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to ten Pt atoms.

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.
