Materials Data on TiCuNO4F7 by Materials Project

Abstract

(TiCu(O2F3)2)2N2F2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/n space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two ammonia molecules, two hydrofluoric acid molecules, and two TiCu(O2F3)2 clusters. In each TiCu(O2F3)2 cluster, Ti is bonded to six F atoms to form TiF6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one CuO4F square pyramid. There are a spread of Ti–F bond distances ranging from 1.85–1.91 Å. Cu is bonded to four equivalent O and one F atom to form distorted CuO4F square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one TiF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Cu–O bond lengths are 1.81 Å. The Cu–F bond length is 2.31 Å. O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cu atom. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ti and one Cu atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ti atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ti 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.
