Materials Data on Ba3Fe2P4(O6F5)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ba3Fe2P4(O6F5)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Ba3Fe2P4(O6F5)2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Ba sites. In the first Ba site, Ba is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight O and two equivalent F atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.67–3.14 Å. Both Ba–F bond lengths are 3.34 Å. In the second Ba site, Ba is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two O and three F atoms. There are one shorter (2.49 Å) and one longer (2.72 Å) Ba–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Ba–F bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.89 Å. Fe is bonded to four O and two F atoms to form distorted FeO4F2 octahedra that share corners with four PO3F tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.26 Å. There is one shorter (1.91 Å) and one longer (1.97 Å) Fe–F bond length. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P is bonded to two O and two F atoms to form PO2F2 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO4F2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–56°. There is one shorter (1.49 Å) and one longer (1.50 Å) P–O bond length. There is one shorter (1.58 Å) and one longer (1.59 Å) P–F bond length. In the second P site, P is bonded to three O and one F atom to form PO3F tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO4F2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–46°. There is one shorter (1.49 Å) and two longer (1.55 Å) P–O bond length. The P–F bond length is 1.59 Å. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Ba and one P atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ba, one Fe, and one P atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ba, one Fe, and one P atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Ba atoms. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Fe and one P atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Fe and one P atom. There are five inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ba and one Fe atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba and one Fe atom. In the fourth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P atom. In the fifth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ba 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.
