Materials Data on BaCu(C2O7)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

BaCu(C2O7)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eleven O atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.45 Å. Cu is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–1.94 Å. There are four inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.25 Å) and one longer (1.29 Å) C–O bond length. In the second C site, C is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.24 Å) and one longer (1.29 Å) C–O bond length. In the third C site, C is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.24 Å) and one longer (1.31 Å) C–O bond length. In the fourth C site, C is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.23 Å) and one longer (1.32 Å) C–O bond length. There are fourteen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu and one C atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ba, one Cu, and one C atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ba and one C atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ba and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.24 Å. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Ba and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.33 Å. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ba and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.23 Å. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ba and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.33 Å. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ba and two O atoms. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ba, one Cu, and one C atom. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu and one C atom. In the thirteenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Ba and one C atom. In the fourteenth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ba and one C 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.
