Materials Data on TiAg2O3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ag2OTiO2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 23°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–2.24 Å. There are two inequivalent Ag1+ sites. In the first Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.10 Å) and one longer (2.12 Å) Ag–O bond lengths. In the second Ag1+ site, Ag1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ag–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.40 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ti4+ atoms to form distorted OTi4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent OTi2Ag2 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one OTi2Ag2 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent OTi4 trigonal pyramids. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ti4+ and one Ag1+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ti4+ and three Ag1+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ti4+ and two equivalent Ag1+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OTi2Ag2 tetrahedra.

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.
