Materials Data on In14Ga3Pt2O8F15 by Materials Project

Abstract

Pt2In14Ga3O8F15 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pt2- is bonded to six In+1.86+ atoms to form PtIn6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent OIn3Ga tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.61 Å) and three longer (2.63 Å) Pt–In bond lengths. There are three inequivalent In+1.86+ sites. In the first In+1.86+ site, In+1.86+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent F1- atoms. All In–F bond lengths are 2.73 Å. In the second In+1.86+ site, In+1.86+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Pt2-, three equivalent O2-, and two F1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.30 Å) and one longer (2.31 Å) In–O bond lengths. There are one shorter (2.34 Å) and one longer (2.47 Å) In–F bond lengths. In the third In+1.86+ site, In+1.86+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Pt2-, one O2-, and three F1- atoms. The In–O bond length is 2.30 Å. There are a spread of In–F bond distances ranging from 2.20–2.28 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga3+ sites. In the first Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is three shorter (1.88 Å) and one longer (1.90 Å) Ga–O bond length. In the second Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent F1- atoms. All Ga–F bond lengths are 1.93 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent In+1.86+ and one Ga3+ atom to form distorted OIn3Ga tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent PtIn6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 62°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent In+1.86+ and one Ga3+ atom. There are four inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent In+1.86+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent In+1.86+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three In+1.86+ atoms. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one In+1.86+ and one Ga3+ 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.
