Materials Data on Cs2Ti2S9 by Materials Project

Abstract

Cs2Ti2S9 crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Cs1+ sites. In the first Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to fifteen S+1.11- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–S bond distances ranging from 3.45–4.08 Å. In the second Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine S+1.11- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–S bond distances ranging from 3.60–4.19 Å. In the third Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to nine S+1.11- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–S bond distances ranging from 3.61–4.02 Å. In the fourth Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six S+1.11- atoms. There are three shorter (3.43 Å) and three longer (3.62 Å) Cs–S bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to seven S+1.11- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing TiS7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ti–S bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.72 Å. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to seven S+1.11- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and face-sharing TiS7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ti–S bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.65 Å. There are nine inequivalent S+1.11- sites. In the first S+1.11- site, S+1.11- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to three Cs1+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the second S+1.11- site, S+1.11- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the third S+1.11- site, S+1.11- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+, two Ti4+, and one S+1.11- atom. The S–S bond length is 2.07 Å. In the fourth S+1.11- site, S+1.11- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Cs1+ and one Ti4+ atom. In the fifth S+1.11- site, S+1.11- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+, one Ti4+, and one S+1.11- atom. In the sixth S+1.11- site, S+1.11- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+ and one Ti4+ atom. In the seventh S+1.11- site, S+1.11- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the eighth S+1.11- site, S+1.11- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the ninth S+1.11- site, S+1.11- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+ and one Ti4+ 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.
