Materials Data on Li2Ti2Fe3O10 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li2Ti2Fe3O10 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded to five O atoms to form distorted LiO5 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent TiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra, edges with two FeO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one LiO5 square pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–76°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.34 Å. Ti is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted TiO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one FeO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent LiO5 square pyramids, an edgeedge with one TiO6 octahedra, edges with four FeO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent LiO5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 13°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.82–2.17 Å. There are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent LiO5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 13–17°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.09 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one FeO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent LiO5 square pyramids, edges with three equivalent TiO6 octahedra, edges with four FeO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one LiO5 square pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 17°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.25 Å. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded to one Li, one Ti, and three Fe atoms to form OLiTiFe3 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one OLiTiFe3 square pyramid, corners with two equivalent OLi2Ti2 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one OLiTiFe3 square pyramid, an edgeedge with one OLi2Ti2 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent OLiTiFe2 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O is bonded to two equivalent Li and two equivalent Ti atoms to form distorted OLi2Ti2 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent OLiTiFe3 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent OLiTiFe2 trigonal pyramids, an edgeedge with one OLiTiFe3 square pyramid, edges with two equivalent OLi2Ti2 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one OLiTiFe2 trigonal pyramid. In the third O site, O is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Ti and three Fe atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded to one Li, one Ti, and two Fe atoms to form distorted OLiTiFe2 trigonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent OLi2Ti2 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one OLiTiFe2 trigonal pyramid, edges with three equivalent OLiTiFe3 square pyramids, and an edgeedge with one OLi2Ti2 tetrahedra. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li, one Ti, and one Fe 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.
