Materials Data on ErPH5CO7 by Materials Project

Abstract

ErCPH3O6H2O crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of two water molecules and one ErCPH3O6 framework. In the ErCPH3O6 framework, Er3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Er–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.47 Å. C3+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.26 Å) and one longer (1.27 Å) C–O bond length. P5+ is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to one H+0.60+ and three O2- atoms. The P–H bond length is 1.40 Å. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.56 Å. There are three inequivalent H+0.60+ sites. In the first H+0.60+ site, H+0.60+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the second H+0.60+ site, H+0.60+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. In the third H+0.60+ site, H+0.60+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.00 Å) and one longer (1.70 Å) H–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Er3+ and one C3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Er3+ and two H+0.60+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Er3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Er3+, one C3+, and one H+0.60+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Er3+ 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.
