Abstract

LiMn2O2F3 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form distorted LiF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiF6 octahedra, corners with two MnO5F octahedra, and edges with three MnO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 26–54°. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.28 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.31 Å. There are four inequivalent Mn3+ sites. In the first Mn3+ site, Mn3+ is bonded to five O2- and one F1- atom to form distorted MnO5F octahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiF6 octahedra, corners with three MnO5F octahedra, and edges with six MnO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 29–54°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.09 Å. The Mn–F bond length is 2.06 Å. In the second Mn3+ site, Mn3+ is bonded to two O2- and four F1- atoms to form distorted MnO2F4 octahedra that share corners with three MnO2F4 octahedra, an edgeedge with one LiF6 octahedra, and edges with three MnO5F octahedra.

In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Mn3+ atoms to form distorted OMn4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent OMn4 trigonal pyramids, corners with two FLiMn3 trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent OMn4 trigonal pyramids. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mn3+ atoms. There are six inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two Li1+ and one Mn3+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded to three Li1+ and one Mn3+ atom to form FLi3Mn trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one OMn4 trigonal pyramid, corners with two equivalent FLi3Mn trigonal pyramids, and edges with four FLiMn3 trigonal pyramids. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded to one Li1+ and three Mn3+ atoms to form distorted FLiMn3 trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one OMn4 trigonal pyramid, corners with three FLiMn3 trigonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent OMn4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent FLi3Mn trigonal pyramids.

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.
