Materials Data on NaTlO by Materials Project

Abstract

NaTl3O2Na3TlO2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Na3TlO2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and one NaTl3O2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the Na3TlO2 sheet, there are three inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.26 Å) and one longer (2.29 Å) Na–O bond lengths. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.36 Å) and one longer (2.38 Å) Na–O bond lengths. In the third Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.26 Å) and two longer (2.31 Å) Na–O bond lengths. Tl1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.39 Å) and two longer (2.56 Å) Tl–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to five Na1+ and one Tl1+ atom to form edge-sharing ONa5Tl octahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Na1+ and two equivalent Tl1+ atoms to form distorted edge-sharing ONa4Tl2 octahedra. In the NaTl3O2 sheet, Na1+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. All Na–O bond lengths are 2.28 Å. There are three inequivalent Tl1+ sites. In the first Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.59 Å) and two longer (2.65 Å) Tl–O bond lengths. In the second Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.58 Å) and one longer (2.59 Å) Tl–O bond lengths. In the third Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three O2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.42 Å) and two longer (2.55 Å) Tl–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Na1+ and five Tl1+ atoms to form edge-sharing ONaTl5 octahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Na1+ and four Tl1+ atoms to form edge-sharing ONa2Tl4 octahedra.

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.
