Materials Data on Np2H12SO14 by Materials Project

Abstract

Np2H10SO13H2O crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of four water molecules and two Np2H10SO13 sheets oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. In each Np2H10SO13 sheet, there are two inequivalent Np5+ sites. In the first Np5+ site, Np5+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted NpO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with three equivalent NpO7 pentagonal bipyramids and a cornercorner with one SO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Np–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–2.62 Å. In the second Np5+ site, Np5+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted NpO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with three equivalent NpO7 pentagonal bipyramids and a cornercorner with one SO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Np–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–2.48 Å. There are ten inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.00 Å) and one longer (1.71 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the eighth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the ninth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.00 Å) and one longer (1.72 Å) H–O bond length. In the tenth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two NpO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.48–1.50 Å. There are thirteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Np5+ and two H1+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Np5+ and two H1+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two Np5+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two Np5+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Np5+ and two H1+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Np5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S6+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Np5+ and two H1+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Np5+ and two H1+ atoms. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Np5+ and one S6+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two H1+ and one S6+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Np5+ atoms. In the thirteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Np5+ and one S6+ 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.
