Materials Data on Na3TiP3NO9 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na3TiP3NO9 crystallizes in the cubic P2_13 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.58 Å) and three longer (2.61 Å) Na–O bond lengths. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PNO3 tetrahedra and a faceface with one TiO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.36 Å) and three longer (2.50 Å) Na–O bond lengths. In the third Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O2- atoms. All Na–O bond lengths are 2.37 Å. Ti3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PNO3 tetrahedra and a faceface with one NaO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.04 Å) and three longer (2.05 Å) Ti–O bond lengths. P5+ is bonded to one N3- and three O2- atoms to form PNO3 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent NaO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra, and corners with two equivalent PNO3 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–64°. The P–N bond length is 1.74 Å. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.55 Å. N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent P5+ atoms. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Ti3+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Na1+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Ti3+, and one P5+ 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.
