Materials Data on Li2AgF3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li2AgF3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c 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 LiF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiF6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent AgF6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent LiF6 octahedra, and edges with five equivalent AgF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–17°. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.14 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to four F1- atoms. There is two shorter (1.90 Å) and two longer (1.91 Å) Li–F bond length. Ag1+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form distorted AgF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiF6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent AgF6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent AgF6 octahedra, and edges with five equivalent LiF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–17°. There are a spread of Ag–F bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.57 Å. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded to three Li1+ and two equivalent Ag1+ atoms to form distorted FLi3Ag2 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent FLi4Ag2 octahedra, corners with seven equivalent FLi3Ag2 square pyramids, edges with four equivalent FLi4Ag2 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent FLi3Ag2 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–76°. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded to four Li1+ and two equivalent Ag1+ atoms to form distorted FLi4Ag2 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent FLi4Ag2 octahedra, corners with four equivalent FLi3Ag2 square pyramids, edges with two equivalent FLi4Ag2 octahedra, and edges with eight equivalent FLi3Ag2 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 4°.

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.
