Materials Data on LiMn2OF5 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiMn2OF5 is zeta iron carbide-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form LiOF5 octahedra that share corners with eight MnOF5 octahedra and edges with two equivalent MnOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–63°. The Li–O bond length is 2.22 Å. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.28 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form distorted LiOF5 octahedra that share corners with eight MnOF5 octahedra and edges with two equivalent MnO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–60°. The Li–O bond length is 2.14 Å. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.26 Å. There are four inequivalent Mn3+ sites. In the first Mn3+ site, Mn3+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form MnOF5 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiOF5 octahedra, corners with six MnO2F4 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent LiOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–56°. The Mn–O bond length is 1.89 Å. There are a spread of Mn–F bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.09 Å. In the second Mn3+ site, Mn3+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form MnOF5 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO2F4 octahedra, corners with six LiOF5 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent MnF6 octahedra.

In the fourth Mn3+ site, Mn3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form MnF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnOF5 octahedra, corners with six LiOF5 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent MnOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–63°. There are a spread of Mn–F bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.23 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and two Mn3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two Mn3+ atoms. There are ten inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two Mn3+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two Mn3+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two Mn3+ atoms. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two Mn3+ atoms. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two Mn3+ atoms. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+ and two Mn3+ atoms. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and two Mn3+ atoms. In the eighth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and two Mn3+ 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.
