Materials Data on NaLiICl by Materials Project

Abstract

NaLiICl is alpha Po-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded to two equivalent I1- and four equivalent Cl1- atoms to form NaI2Cl4 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent NaI2Cl4 octahedra, edges with four equivalent NaI2Cl4 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent LiI4Cl2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. Both Na–I bond lengths are 3.11 Å. All Na–Cl bond lengths are 2.89 Å. Li1+ is bonded to four equivalent I1- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms to form LiI4Cl2 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiI4Cl2 octahedra, edges with four equivalent LiI4Cl2 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent NaI2Cl4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Li–I bond lengths are 2.89 Å. Both Li–Cl bond lengths are 3.11 Å. I1- is bonded to two equivalent Na1+ and four equivalent Li1+ atoms to form INa2Li4 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent INa2Li4 octahedra, edges with four equivalent INa2Li4 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent ClNa4Li2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. Cl1- is bonded to four equivalent Na1+ and two equivalent Li1+ atoms to form ClNa4Li2 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent ClNa4Li2 octahedra, edges with four equivalent ClNa4Li2 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent INa2Li4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.

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.
