Materials Data on Rb4Mn(MoO4)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb4Mn(MoO4)3 crystallizes in the trigonal P31c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.39 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.44 Å. In the third Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.90 Å) and three longer (3.31 Å) Rb–O bond lengths. In the fourth Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.93 Å) and three longer (3.22 Å) Rb–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Mo6+ sites. In the first Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO5 trigonal bipyramid. There is three shorter (1.79 Å) and one longer (1.83 Å) Mo–O bond length. In the second Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO5 trigonal bipyramid. There is three shorter (1.79 Å) and one longer (1.82 Å) Mo–O bond length. In the third Mo6+ site, Mo6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent MnO5 trigonal bipyramids. There is one shorter (1.76 Å) and three longer (1.82 Å) Mo–O bond length. Mn2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form MnO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with five MoO4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.05 Å) and three longer (2.20 Å) Mn–O bond lengths. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rb1+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Rb1+, one Mo6+, and one Mn2+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mo6+ and one Mn2+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mo6+ and one Mn2+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Rb1+ and one Mo6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Rb1+ and one Mo6+ 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.
