Materials Data on ZnP2H6O5 by Materials Project

Abstract

ZnP2H6O5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with five PH2O2 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one ZnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.18 Å. There are two inequivalent P1+ sites. In the first P1+ site, P1+ is bonded to two H1+ and two O2- atoms to form distorted PH2O2 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–53°. There is one shorter (1.41 Å) and one longer (1.42 Å) P–H bond length. There is one shorter (1.52 Å) and one longer (1.54 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P1+ site, P1+ is bonded to two H1+ and two O2- atoms to form distorted PH2O2 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent ZnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–53°. There is one shorter (1.41 Å) and one longer (1.42 Å) P–H bond length. There is one shorter (1.53 Å) and one longer (1.54 Å) P–O bond length. There are six inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P1+ atom. In the second 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 third 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 fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P1+ atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P1+ atom. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P1+ atom. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn2+ and one P1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn2+ and one P1+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn2+ and one P1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Zn2+ and one P1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Zn2+ and two H1+ 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.
