Materials Data on MnFe2Pb2(OF4)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

MnFe2Pb2(OF4)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mn7+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form MnF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnF6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent FeF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–29°. There are a spread of Mn–F bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.01 Å. Fe+2.50+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form FeF6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnF6 octahedra and corners with three equivalent FeF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–29°. There are a spread of Fe–F bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.01 Å. Pb3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three O2- and six F1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.72 Å) and two longer (2.74 Å) Pb–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Pb–F bond distances ranging from 2.61–2.64 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pb3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pb3+ atoms. There are seven inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Fe+2.50+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mn7+ and one Fe+2.50+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Mn7+ atoms. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Fe+2.50+ atoms. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Mn7+ and two equivalent Pb3+ atoms. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Fe+2.50+ and two equivalent Pb3+ atoms. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Fe+2.50+ and two equivalent Pb3+ 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.
