Materials Data on LiFe2O2F3 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiFe2O2F3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.40 Å. There are two inequivalent Fe3+ sites. In the first Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to five O2- and one F1- atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing FeO5F octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 21–39°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.12 Å. The Fe–F bond length is 2.38 Å. In the second Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to two O2- and four F1- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing FeO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 21–33°. There are one shorter (1.93 Å) and one longer (2.11 Å) Fe–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Fe–F bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.01 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Fe3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Fe3+ atoms to form distorted OFe4 trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one FLi3Fe trigonal pyramid, corners with two equivalent OFe4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent OFe4 trigonal pyramids. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Li1+ and one Fe3+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded to three equivalent Li1+ and one Fe3+ atom to form distorted FLi3Fe trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one OFe4 trigonal pyramid, corners with two equivalent FLi3Fe trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent FLi3Fe trigonal pyramids. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and three Fe3+ 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.
