Materials Data on Li4FeC6ClO21 by Materials Project

Abstract

(LiO4)3Li5Fe2C12(O15Cl)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ama2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of twelve lioh.3h2o molecules and two Li5Fe2C12(O15Cl)2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each Li5Fe2C12(O15Cl)2 sheet, there are three inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li is bonded to six O atoms to form corner-sharing LiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.13 Å. In the second Li site, Li is bonded to four O atoms to form distorted corner-sharing LiO4 trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 56–58°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.12 Å. In the third Li site, Li is bonded to four O atoms to form distorted corner-sharing LiO4 trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. There are two shorter (2.04 Å) and two longer (2.08 Å) Li–O bond lengths. Fe is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.08 Å. There are six inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.25 Å) and one longer (1.28 Å) C–O bond length. In the second C site, C is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.25 Å) and one longer (1.27 Å) C–O bond length. In the third C site, C is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.25 Å) and one longer (1.28 Å) C–O bond length. In the fourth C site, C is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.25 Å) and one longer (1.27 Å) C–O bond length. In the fifth C site, C is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.25 Å) and one longer (1.28 Å) C–O bond length. In the sixth C site, C is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.24 Å) and one longer (1.29 Å) C–O bond length. There are fifteen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one C atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one C atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one C atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.49 Å. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.49 Å. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.49 Å. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one C atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one C atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Fe and one C atom. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Li and one C atom. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Li and one C atom. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Li and one C atom. In the thirteenth O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Li and one C atom. In the fourteenth O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Li and one C atom. In the fifteenth O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Li and one C atom. Cl is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O 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.
