Materials Data on Ti2FeB6(Os2Rh)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ti2FeB6(Os2Rh)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ti3+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to eight Os2- and four B1- atoms. There are a spread of Ti–Os bond distances ranging from 2.76–2.82 Å. There are a spread of Ti–B bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.67 Å. There are three inequivalent Os2- sites. In the first Os2- site, Os2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ti3+, two equivalent Rh3+, and three B1- atoms. Both Os–Rh bond lengths are 2.74 Å. There are two shorter (2.20 Å) and one longer (2.29 Å) Os–B bond lengths. In the second Os2- site, Os2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ti3+, two equivalent Rh3+, and three B1- atoms. Both Os–Rh bond lengths are 2.73 Å. There are two shorter (2.21 Å) and one longer (2.42 Å) Os–B bond lengths. In the third Os2- site, Os2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ti3+, two equivalent Rh3+, and three B1- atoms. Both Os–Rh bond lengths are 2.71 Å. There are two shorter (2.21 Å) and one longer (2.40 Å) Os–B bond lengths. Fe3+ is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to four B1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.09 Å) and two longer (2.71 Å) Fe–B bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Rh3+ sites. In the first Rh3+ site, Rh3+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Os2- and six B1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.21 Å) and four longer (2.31 Å) Rh–B bond lengths. In the second Rh3+ site, Rh3+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four Os2- and six B1- atoms. There are a spread of Rh–B bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.45 Å. There are four inequivalent B1- sites. In the first B1- site, B1- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ti3+, six Os2-, and one Fe3+ atom. In the second B1- site, B1- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Os2-, two equivalent Fe3+, four equivalent Rh3+, and one B1- atom. The B–B bond length is 2.07 Å. In the third B1- site, B1- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ti3+, two Os2-, four Rh3+, and one B1- atom. The B–B bond length is 1.89 Å. In the fourth B1- site, B1- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Rh3+ and three B1- 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.
