Materials Data on PH18C6N3O by Materials Project

Abstract

((CH3)2N)3PO is beta Sn-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two hexamethylphosphoramide molecules. there are three inequivalent C2- sites. In the first C2- site, C2- is bonded to one N3- and three H1+ atoms to form CH3N tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CH3N tetrahedra and a cornercorner with one PN3O tetrahedra. The C–N bond length is 1.46 Å. There are a spread of C–H bond distances ranging from 1.09–1.11 Å. In the second C2- site, C2- is bonded to one N3- and three H1+ atoms to form CH3N tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CH3N tetrahedra and a cornercorner with one PN3O tetrahedra. The C–N bond length is 1.46 Å. There is two shorter (1.10 Å) and one longer (1.11 Å) C–H bond length. In the third C2- site, C2- is bonded to one N3- and three H1+ atoms to form CH3N tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CH3N tetrahedra and a cornercorner with one PN3O tetrahedra. The C–N bond length is 1.47 Å. There is two shorter (1.10 Å) and one longer (1.11 Å) C–H bond length. P5+ is bonded to three N3- and one O2- atom to form PN3O tetrahedra that share corners with six CH3N tetrahedra. All P–N bond lengths are 1.68 Å. The P–O bond length is 1.49 Å. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two C2- and one P5+ atom. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent C2- and one P5+ atom. There are nine inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. In the eighth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. In the ninth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to 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.
