Materials Data on Ba2NaMn3F11 by Materials Project

Abstract

NaBa2Mn3F11 crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight F1- atoms. There are a spread of Na–F bond distances ranging from 2.49–2.66 Å. There are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine F1- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–F bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.80 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine F1- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–F bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.80 Å. Mn2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Mn–F bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.56 Å. There are five inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded to one Na1+ and three equivalent Mn2+ atoms to form distorted FNaMn3 trigonal pyramids that share corners with ten FBa2NaMn tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent FBa2Mn2 trigonal pyramids, and edges with three equivalent FBa2NaMn tetrahedra. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded to one Na1+ and three equivalent Mn2+ atoms to form FNaMn3 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent FBa2NaMn tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent FNaMn3 trigonal pyramids, edges with three equivalent FBa2NaMn tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent FBa2Mn2 trigonal pyramids. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded to one Na1+, two Ba2+, and one Mn2+ atom to form distorted FBa2NaMn tetrahedra that share corners with ten FBa2NaMn tetrahedra, corners with eight FNaMn3 trigonal pyramids, edges with four FBa2NaMn tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one FBa2Mn2 trigonal pyramid. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded to one Na1+, two Ba2+, and one Mn2+ atom to form distorted FBa2NaMn tetrahedra that share corners with twelve FBa2NaMn tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent FBa2Mn2 trigonal pyramids, edges with three equivalent FBa2NaMn tetrahedra, and edges with two FNaMn3 trigonal pyramids. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded to two Ba2+ and two equivalent Mn2+ atoms to form distorted FBa2Mn2 trigonal pyramids that share corners with twelve FBa2NaMn tetrahedra, corners with four FNaMn3 trigonal pyramids, edges with three FBa2NaMn tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent FBa2Mn2 trigonal pyramids.

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.
