Materials Data on Rb2LiC3S3(OF)9 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb2LiCS3(O3F)3(CF3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of eight fluoroform molecules and one Rb2LiCS3(O3F)3 framework. In the Rb2LiCS3(O3F)3 framework, there are two inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.25 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six O2- and one F1- atom. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.90–3.28 Å. The Rb–F bond length is 3.27 Å. Li1+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.00 Å. C4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three F1- atoms. There is two shorter (1.35 Å) and one longer (1.36 Å) C–F bond length. There are three inequivalent S4+ sites. In the first S4+ site, S4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.46 Å) and one longer (1.47 Å) S–O bond length. In the second S4+ site, S4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.46 Å) and one longer (1.47 Å) S–O bond length. In the third S4+ site, S4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.45 Å) and two longer (1.47 Å) S–O bond length. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and one S4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Rb1+, one Li1+, and one S4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Rb1+ and one S4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and one S4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Rb1+, one Li1+, and one S4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Rb1+ and one S4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Rb1+, one Li1+, and one S4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Rb1+ and one S4+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Rb1+, one Li1+, and one S4+ atom. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rb1+ and one C4+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ 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.
