Materials Data on Na2MnPHO3F4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na2MnPHO3F4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to two equivalent O2- and four F1- atoms to form distorted NaO2F4 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO2F4 octahedra, corners with four equivalent PO3F tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent NaO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. Both Na–O bond lengths are 2.72 Å. There are two shorter (2.24 Å) and two longer (2.53 Å) Na–F bond lengths. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Na–F bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.89 Å. Mn2+ is bonded to two equivalent O2- and four F1- atoms to form MnO2F4 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NaO2F4 octahedra, corners with two equivalent MnO2F4 octahedra, and corners with two equivalent PO3F tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 54–60°. Both Mn–O bond lengths are 2.16 Å. There are two shorter (2.10 Å) and two longer (2.23 Å) Mn–F bond lengths. P5+ is bonded to three O2- and one F1- atom to form PO3F tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO2F4 octahedra and corners with four equivalent NaO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–64°. There is two shorter (1.50 Å) and one longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. The P–F bond length is 1.64 Å. H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one O2- and one F1- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.04 Å. The H–F bond length is 1.43 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one P5+, and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mn2+ and one P5+ atom. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Na1+ and one Mn2+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded to one Na1+, two equivalent Mn2+, and one H1+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing FNaMn2H tetrahedra. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Na1+ and one P5+ 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.
