Materials Data on LiAg2F4 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiAg2F4 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 four F1- atoms to form LiF4 tetrahedra that share corners with ten AgF6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent LiF4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–70°. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.11 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four F1- atoms to form LiF4 tetrahedra that share corners with ten AgF6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent LiF4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–70°. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.09 Å. There are four inequivalent Ag+1.50+ sites. In the first Ag+1.50+ site, Ag+1.50+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form distorted AgF6 octahedra that share corners with three AgF6 octahedra, corners with five LiF4 tetrahedra, and edges with five AgF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–76°. There are a spread of Ag–F bond distances ranging from 2.17–2.66 Å. In the second Ag+1.50+ site, Ag+1.50+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form distorted AgF6 octahedra that share corners with three AgF6 octahedra, corners with five LiF4 tetrahedra, and edges with five AgF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–76°. There are a spread of Ag–F bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.67 Å. In the third Ag+1.50+ site, Ag+1.50+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form distorted AgF6 octahedra that share corners with three AgF6 octahedra, corners with five LiF4 tetrahedra, and edges with five AgF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–76°. There are a spread of Ag–F bond distances ranging from 2.17–2.67 Å. In the fourth Ag+1.50+ site, Ag+1.50+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form distorted AgF6 octahedra that share corners with three AgF6 octahedra, corners with five LiF4 tetrahedra, and edges with five AgF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–76°. There are a spread of Ag–F bond distances ranging from 2.17–2.67 Å. There are eight inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four Ag+1.50+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and three Ag+1.50+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and three Ag+1.50+ atoms. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+ and two Ag+1.50+ atoms to form corner-sharing FLi2Ag2 tetrahedra. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+ and two Ag+1.50+ atoms to form corner-sharing FLi2Ag2 tetrahedra. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and three Ag+1.50+ atoms. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and three Ag+1.50+ atoms. In the eighth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four Ag+1.50+ 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.
