Materials Data on Mn3OF5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Mn3OF5 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mn+2.33+ sites. In the first Mn+2.33+ site, Mn+2.33+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form MnOF5 octahedra that share corners with eight MnF6 octahedra and edges with two MnOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–56°. The Mn–O bond length is 2.03 Å. There are a spread of Mn–F bond distances ranging from 2.15–2.21 Å. In the second Mn+2.33+ site, Mn+2.33+ is bonded to two equivalent O2- and four F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MnO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–50°. Both Mn–O bond lengths are 1.92 Å. There are two shorter (2.11 Å) and two longer (2.16 Å) Mn–F bond lengths. In the third Mn+2.33+ site, Mn+2.33+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing MnF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–54°. There are two shorter (2.10 Å) and four longer (2.15 Å) Mn–F bond lengths. In the fourth Mn+2.33+ site, Mn+2.33+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form MnOF5 octahedra that share corners with eight MnOF5 octahedra and edges with two MnF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–56°. The Mn–O bond length is 1.98 Å. There are a spread of Mn–F bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.15 Å. O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+2.33+ atoms. There are five inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+2.33+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+2.33+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+2.33+ atoms. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mn+2.33+ atoms. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+2.33+ atoms.

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.
