Abstract

Cu2C2PSO9(O2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of eight oxygen molecules and one Cu2C2PSO9 sheet oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In the Cu2C2PSO9 sheet, there are two inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–2.56 Å. In the second Cu site, Cu is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted CuO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one PCO3 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent SCO3 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.25 Å. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C is bonded in a linear geometry to one C and one P atom. The C–C bond length is 1.22 Å. The C–P bond length is 1.74 Å. In the second C site, C is bonded in a linear geometry to one C and one S atom. The C–S bond length is 1.72 Å. P is bonded to one C and three O atoms to form PCO3 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 68°. There is two shorter (1.55 Å) and one longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. S is bonded to one C and three O atoms to form distorted SCO3 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 35–40°. There is one shorter (1.44 Å) and two longer (1.47 Å) S–O bond length. There are nine inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu and one P atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Cu and one S atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Cu and one S atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Cu atoms. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cu and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.28 Å. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu and one P atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cu and one O atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu and one P 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.
