Materials Data on LiBH15C5NO3 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiBC5NH15O3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one LiBC5NH15O3 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Li1+ is bonded to one N3-, two H1+, and two O2- atoms to form distorted LiH2NO2 trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one BH3N tetrahedra, corners with six CH2O2 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one BH3N tetrahedra. The Li–N bond length is 2.09 Å. There are one shorter (1.95 Å) and one longer (2.07 Å) Li–H bond lengths. There are one shorter (2.09 Å) and one longer (2.15 Å) Li–O bond lengths. B3+ is bonded to one N3- and three H1+ atoms to form BH3N tetrahedra that share corners with two CH3N tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one LiH2NO2 trigonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one LiH2NO2 trigonal bipyramid. The B–N bond length is 1.55 Å. There are a spread of B–H bond distances ranging from 1.23–1.26 Å. There are five inequivalent C2- sites. In the first C2- site, C2- is bonded to two H1+ and two O2- atoms to form CH2O2 tetrahedra that share corners with two CH2O2 tetrahedra and a cornercorner with one LiH2NO2 trigonal bipyramid. There is one shorter (1.09 Å) and one longer (1.11 Å) C–H bond length. There is one shorter (1.42 Å) and one longer (1.43 Å) C–O bond length. In the second C2- site, C2- is bonded to two H1+ and two O2- atoms to form CH2O2 tetrahedra that share corners with two CH2O2 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent LiH2NO2 trigonal bipyramids. There is one shorter (1.09 Å) and one longer (1.10 Å) C–H bond length. Both C–O bond lengths are 1.43 Å.

The C–N bond length is 1.46 Å. There is two shorter (1.10 Å) and one longer (1.11 Å) C–H bond length. In the fourth C2- site, C2- is bonded to one N3- and three H1+ atoms to form CH3N tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one BH3N tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one CH3N tetrahedra, and a cornercorner with one LiH2NO2 trigonal bipyramid. The C–N bond length is 1.46 Å. There is two shorter (1.10 Å) and one longer (1.11 Å) C–H bond length. In the fifth C2- site, C2- is bonded to two H1+ and two O2- atoms to form CH2O2 tetrahedra that share corners with two CH2O2 tetrahedra and a cornercorner with one LiH2NO2 trigonal bipyramid. There is one shorter (1.09 Å) and one longer (1.11 Å) C–H bond length. There is one shorter (1.42 Å) and one longer (1.43 Å) C–O bond length.

In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Li1+ and one B3+ atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2- 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.
