Materials Data on Li3Fe2P2(CO7)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li3Fe2P2(CO7)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li sites. In the first Li site, Li is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.16 Å. In the second Li site, Li is bonded to five O atoms to form distorted LiO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two FeO6 octahedra, corners with three PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 69–81°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.46 Å. In the third Li site, Li is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.15 Å. There are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra and a cornercorner with one LiO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.23 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted FeO6 octahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one LiO5 trigonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one LiO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.24 Å. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 36–45°. 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 FeO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent LiO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 32–46°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.57 Å. There are fourteen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li, one Fe, and one C atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li and one C atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Fe and one C atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li, one Fe, and one P atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li, one Fe, and one P atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe and one P atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Fe and one P atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li, one Fe, and one P atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li, one Fe, and one P atom. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li, one Fe, and one P atom. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal pyramidal geometry to two Li, one Fe, and one P atom.

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.
