Materials Data on Li5WNO4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li5WNO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted LiO4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent LiNO4 trigonal bipyramids, corners with four equivalent WNO4 trigonal bipyramids, an edgeedge with one LiNO4 trigonal bipyramid, and edges with two equivalent LiO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.01 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one N3- and four O2- atoms. The Li–N bond length is 2.03 Å. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.34 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to one N3- and four O2- atoms to form distorted LiNO4 trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one WNO4 trigonal bipyramid, corners with four equivalent LiO4 trigonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent WNO4 trigonal bipyramids, and edges with two equivalent LiO4 trigonal pyramids. The Li–N bond length is 2.36 Å. There are two shorter (2.05 Å) and two longer (2.08 Å) Li–O bond lengths. W6+ is bonded to one N3- and four O2- atoms to form distorted WNO4 trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one LiNO4 trigonal bipyramid, corners with eight equivalent LiO4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent LiNO4 trigonal bipyramids. The W–N bond length is 1.79 Å. There is two shorter (1.96 Å) and two longer (1.97 Å) W–O bond length. N3- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Li1+ and one W6+ atom. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to five Li1+ and one W6+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing OLi5W octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 18–42°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to five Li1+ and one W6+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing OLi5W octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 18–42°.

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.
