Materials Data on NiP4N2O19 by Materials Project

Abstract

NiO6NiP8(NO13)2(NO)2(O2)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two nitroxyl molecules, two oxygen molecules, one NiO6 cluster, and one NiP8(NO13)2 cluster. In the NiO6 cluster, Ni is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O atoms. Both Ni–O bond lengths are 1.81 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.49 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. The O–O bond length is 1.24 Å. In the third O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. In the NiP8(NO13)2 cluster, Ni is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O atoms. There is two shorter (1.92 Å) and two longer (2.00 Å) Ni–O bond length. There are four inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.47–1.63 Å. In the second P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.48–1.63 Å. In the third P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.47–1.61 Å. In the fourth P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.64 Å. N is bonded in a water-like geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.15 Å) and one longer (1.66 Å) N–O bond length. There are thirteen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one P and one N atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ni and one P atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two P atoms. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ni and one P atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two P atoms. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the thirteenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P 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.
