Materials Data on Al2P2H6NO11 by Materials Project

Abstract

(AlPHO5)4(NH4)2O2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four ammonium molecules, four water molecules, and one AlPHO5 framework. In the AlPHO5 framework, there are two inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra and a cornercorner with one AlO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–1.93 Å. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form AlO5 trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one AlO6 octahedra and corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.81–1.90 Å. There are two inequivalent P+4.50+ sites. In the first P+4.50+ site, P+4.50+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent AlO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–48°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.56 Å. In the second P+4.50+ site, P+4.50+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent AlO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 24–52°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.56 Å. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.00 Å) and one longer (1.68 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P+4.50+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P+4.50+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Al3+ and one H1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Al3+, one P+4.50+, and one H1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P+4.50+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Al3+ and one H1+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P+4.50+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P+4.50+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P+4.50+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al3+ and one P+4.50+ 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.
