Abstract

Nd2WP3H5O9 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Nd3+ sites. In the first Nd3+ site, Nd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one H+0.60+ and seven O2- atoms. The Nd–H bond length is 2.11 Å. There are a spread of Nd–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.95 Å. In the second Nd3+ site, Nd3+ is bonded to eight O2- atoms to form distorted NdO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with four PHO3 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one NdO8 hexagonal bipyramid, and edges with two PHO3 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Nd–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.70 Å. W2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two H+0.60+ and two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.77 Å) and one longer (1.79 Å) W–H bond length. There are one shorter (2.28 Å) and one longer (2.33 Å) W–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent P+2.33+ sites. In the first P+2.33+ site, P+2.33+ is bonded to one H+0.60+ and three O2- atoms to form distorted PHO3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent NdO8 hexagonal bipyramids. The P–H bond length is 1.40 Å. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.56 Å.

In the third H+0.60+ site, H+0.60+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W2+ atom. In the fourth H+0.60+ site, H+0.60+ is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Nd3+ and one W2+ atom. In the fifth H+0.60+ site, H+0.60+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P+2.33+ atom. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Nd3+, one W2+, and one P+2.33+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Nd3+ and one P+2.33+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Nd3+ and one P+2.33+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Nd3+, one W2+, and one P+2.33+ 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.
