Materials Data on Na2TiS2O by Materials Project

Abstract

Na2TiS2O crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to five S2- and one O2- atom to form NaS5O octahedra that share corners with five NaS5O octahedra, corners with three equivalent TiS2O2 tetrahedra, edges with eight NaS5O octahedra, and edges with two equivalent TiS2O2 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 9–71°. There are a spread of Na–S bond distances ranging from 2.85–3.01 Å. The Na–O bond length is 2.91 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to five S2- and one O2- atom to form distorted NaS5O octahedra that share corners with five NaS5O octahedra, corners with three equivalent TiS2O2 tetrahedra, edges with eight NaS5O octahedra, and edges with two equivalent TiS2O2 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–71°. There are a spread of Na–S bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.03 Å. The Na–O bond length is 2.49 Å. Ti4+ is bonded to two S2- and two equivalent O2- atoms to form TiS2O2 tetrahedra that share corners with six NaS5O octahedra, corners with two equivalent TiS2O2 tetrahedra, and edges with four NaS5O octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 13–77°. There are one shorter (2.24 Å) and one longer (2.25 Å) Ti–S bond lengths. There is one shorter (1.86 Å) and one longer (1.87 Å) Ti–O bond length. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to five Na1+ and one Ti4+ atom to form distorted SNa5Ti octahedra that share corners with five SNa5Ti octahedra, corners with three equivalent ONa2Ti2 trigonal pyramids, edges with eight SNa5Ti octahedra, and edges with two equivalent ONa2Ti2 trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–63°. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to five Na1+ and one Ti4+ atom to form distorted SNa5Ti octahedra that share corners with five SNa5Ti octahedra, corners with three equivalent ONa2Ti2 trigonal pyramids, edges with eight SNa5Ti octahedra, and edges with two equivalent ONa2Ti2 trigonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–63°. O2- is bonded to two Na1+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms to form distorted ONa2Ti2 trigonal pyramids that share corners with six SNa5Ti octahedra, corners with two equivalent ONa2Ti2 trigonal pyramids, and edges with four SNa5Ti octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 15–83°.

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.
