Materials Data on Li6MnO4F by Materials Project

Abstract

Li6MnO4F crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four O2- and one F1- atom. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.24 Å. The Li–F bond length is 2.45 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four O2- and one F1- atom. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.36 Å. The Li–F bond length is 2.15 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to three O2- and one F1- atom to form LiO3F tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent MnO4F trigonal bipyramids and edges with two equivalent LiO3F tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–1.95 Å. The Li–F bond length is 1.90 Å. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to three O2- and one F1- atom to form LiO3F tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent MnO4F trigonal bipyramids and edges with two equivalent LiO3F tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–1.92 Å. The Li–F bond length is 1.88 Å. In the fifth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.60 Å. In the sixth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- and one F1- atom. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.47 Å. The Li–F bond length is 2.24 Å. Mn3+ is bonded to four O2- and one F1- atom to form distorted MnO4F trigonal bipyramids that share corners with eight LiO3F tetrahedra. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.04 Å. The Mn–F bond length is 2.17 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six Li1+ and one Mn3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to six Li1+ and one Mn3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLi6Mn pentagonal bipyramids. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six Li1+ and one Mn3+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Li1+ and one Mn3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLi4Mn trigonal bipyramids. F1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five Li1+ and one Mn3+ 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.
