Materials Data on MnH6(S2O9)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

MnH6(S2O9)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pccn space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two MnH6(S2O9)2 ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Mn is bonded to six O atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent SO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–1.97 Å. There are three inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and one longer (1.58 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the third H site, H is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.68 Å) H–O bond length. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S is bonded to four O atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–47°. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.45–1.53 Å. In the second S site, S is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.56 Å. There are nine inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to one H and one S atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mn and one S atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Mn and two H atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one H and one S atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to one H and one S atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mn and one S 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.
