Materials Data on Ti4Fe(BiO3)6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ti4Fe(BiO3)6 is Pb (Zr_0.50 Ti_0.48) O_3-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fmm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 21°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–2.21 Å. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted TiO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one FeO6 octahedra and corners with five TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 15–21°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–2.25 Å. Fe2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 16–19°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.13 Å. There are three inequivalent Bi3+ sites. In the first Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.60 Å. In the second Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.20–3.01 Å. In the third Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.15–2.93 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ti4+ and one Bi3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ti4+, one Fe2+, and three equivalent Bi3+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Fe2+ and two equivalent Bi3+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ti4+ and two Bi3+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ti4+ and two equivalent Bi3+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Ti4+ and three equivalent Bi3+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Bi3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra.

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.
