Materials Data on Mn2O3F by Materials Project

Abstract

Mn2O3F is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Mn+3.50+ sites. In the first Mn+3.50+ site, Mn+3.50+ is bonded to four O2- and two F1- atoms to form MnO4F2 octahedra that share corners with eight MnO5F octahedra and edges with two MnO4F2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–52°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–1.99 Å. Both Mn–F bond lengths are 2.12 Å. In the second Mn+3.50+ site, Mn+3.50+ is bonded to four O2- and two equivalent F1- atoms to form MnO4F2 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent MnO5F octahedra and edges with two equivalent MnO4F2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–52°. All Mn–O bond lengths are 1.93 Å. Both Mn–F bond lengths are 2.06 Å. In the third Mn+3.50+ site, Mn+3.50+ is bonded to four O2- and two F1- atoms to form MnO4F2 octahedra that share corners with eight MnO5F octahedra and edges with two MnO4F2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–52°. There is one shorter (1.90 Å) and three longer (1.94 Å) Mn–O bond length. There are one shorter (2.05 Å) and one longer (2.08 Å) Mn–F bond lengths. In the fourth Mn+3.50+ site, Mn+3.50+ is bonded to five O2- and one F1- atom to form MnO5F octahedra that share corners with eight MnO4F2 octahedra and edges with two MnO5F octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–52°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–1.96 Å. The Mn–F bond length is 2.05 Å. In the fifth Mn+3.50+ site, Mn+3.50+ is bonded to five O2- and one F1- atom to form MnO5F octahedra that share corners with eight MnO4F2 octahedra and edges with two MnO5F octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–52°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–1.95 Å. The Mn–F bond length is 2.07 Å. In the sixth Mn+3.50+ site, Mn+3.50+ is bonded to five O2- and one F1- atom to form MnO5F octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent MnO4F2 octahedra and edges with two equivalent MnO5F octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–52°. There is one shorter (1.93 Å) and four longer (1.95 Å) Mn–O bond length. The Mn–F bond length is 2.16 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Mn+3.50+ atoms. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Mn+3.50+ 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.
