Materials Data on Mn4Zn3H10(CO8)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Mn4Zn3H10(CO8)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mn2+ sites. In the first Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra, and edges with three MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 57°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.19–2.29 Å. In the second Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with three MnO6 octahedra, corners with three ZnO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 57°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.37 Å. There are two inequivalent Zn2+ sites. In the first Zn2+ site, Zn2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 55–59°. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.04 Å. In the second Zn2+ site, Zn2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 72°. There is two shorter (1.94 Å) and two longer (2.01 Å) Zn–O bond length. C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. All C–O bond lengths are 1.30 Å. There are five inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.01 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Mn2+ and one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Mn2+, one Zn2+, and one H1+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mn2+, one Zn2+, and one H1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Mn2+, one Zn2+, and one H1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Mn2+ and one H1+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Mn2+, one Zn2+, and one H1+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn2+ and one C4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn2+ and one C4+ 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.
