Materials Data on Na3Mg4(MoO4)6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na3Mg4(MoO4)6 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na sites. In the first Na site, Na is bonded to five O atoms to form NaO5 trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one NaO6 octahedra, corners with five MoO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two MgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.36 Å. In the second Na site, Na is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MgO6 octahedra, corners with six MoO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent NaO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 62°. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.78 Å. There are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to six O atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six MoO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one MgO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one NaO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.20 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to six O atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one NaO6 octahedra, corners with six MoO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one MgO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one NaO5 trigonal bipyramid.

The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 38–58°. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–1.85 Å. In the third Mo site, Mo is bonded to four O atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one NaO6 octahedra, corners with four MgO6 octahedra, and corners with two equivalent NaO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 17–59°. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.78–1.82 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mg and one Mo atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Na, one Mg, and one Mo atom.

In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a linear geometry to one Mg and one Mo atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Na, one Mg, and one Mo atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Mg and one Mo atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Na, one Mg, and one Mo 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.
