Materials Data on Co3Ni9P4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Co3Ni9P4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Co1+ sites. In the first Co1+ site, Co1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two P3- atoms. There are one shorter (2.19 Å) and one longer (2.25 Å) Co–P bond lengths. In the second Co1+ site, Co1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two P3- atoms. There are one shorter (2.19 Å) and one longer (2.25 Å) Co–P bond lengths. In the third Co1+ site, Co1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two P3- atoms. There are one shorter (2.18 Å) and one longer (2.26 Å) Co–P bond lengths. There are nine inequivalent Ni1+ sites. In the first Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P3- atoms. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.32 Å. In the second Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P3- atoms. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.33 Å. In the third Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P3- atoms. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.20–2.32 Å. In the fourth Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three P3- atoms. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.31 Å. In the fifth Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded to four P3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NiP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.33 Å. In the sixth Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded to four P3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NiP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.34 Å. In the seventh Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded to four P3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NiP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.34 Å. In the eighth Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded to four P3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing NiP4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ni–P bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.33 Å. In the ninth Ni1+ site, Ni1+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two P3- atoms. There are one shorter (2.21 Å) and one longer (2.28 Å) Ni–P bond lengths. There are four inequivalent P3- sites. In the first P3- site, P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Co1+ and eight Ni1+ atoms. In the second P3- site, P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two Co1+ and seven Ni1+ atoms. In the third P3- site, P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Co1+ and eight Ni1+ atoms. In the fourth P3- site, P3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two Co1+ and seven Ni1+ 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.
