Abstract

Na8Fe6P6(O8F3)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Na sites. In the first Na site, Na is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four O and three F atoms. There are two shorter (2.42 Å) and two longer (2.44 Å) Na–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Na–F bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.54 Å. In the second Na site, Na is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four O and three F atoms. There are two shorter (2.58 Å) and two longer (2.59 Å) Na–O bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.41 Å) and one longer (2.64 Å) Na–F bond lengths. In the third Na site, Na is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to four O and three F atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.39–2.69 Å. There are a spread of Na–F bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.57 Å. There are three inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded to four O and two F atoms to form FeO4F2 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one FeO4F2 octahedra and corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 5°. There are two shorter (2.01 Å) and two longer (2.07 Å) Fe–O bond lengths. There is one shorter (1.90 Å) and one longer (2.03 Å) Fe–F bond length. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded to four O and two F atoms to form FeO4F2 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one FeO4F2 octahedra and corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Fe–O bond lengths are 2.01 Å. There are one shorter (1.96 Å) and one longer (2.04 Å) Fe–F bond lengths. In the third Fe site, Fe is bonded to four O and two F atoms to form FeO4F2 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one FeO4F2 octahedra and corners with four equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 5°. There are two shorter (2.00 Å) and two longer (2.04 Å) Fe–O bond lengths. There is one shorter (1.95 Å) and one longer (2.04 Å) Fe–F bond length. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four FeO4F2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–46°. There is one shorter (1.54 Å) and three longer (1.55 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four FeO4F2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–45°. All P–O bond lengths are 1.55 Å. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na, one Fe, and one P atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Na, one Fe, and one P atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na, one Fe, and one P atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Na, one Fe, and one P atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na, one Fe, and one P atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na, one Fe, and one P atom. There are five inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Na and one Fe atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Na and one Fe atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a distorted square pyramidal geometry to three Na and two Fe 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.
