Materials Data on CsLi5Mn(P2O7)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

CsLi5Mn(P2O7)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form distorted CsO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight LiO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent CsO12 cuboctahedra, an edgeedge with one MnO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, and edges with eight PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 3.20–3.72 Å. There are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CsO12 cuboctahedra, corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one CsO12 cuboctahedra, and an edgeedge with one LiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.01 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CsO12 cuboctahedra, corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one LiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 67–71°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.05 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.00 Å) and two longer (2.53 Å) Li–O bond lengths. Mn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted MnO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with six PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one CsO12 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.19 Å) and four longer (2.26 Å) Mn–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra, corners with five LiO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent CsO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 54°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.65 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra, corners with three LiO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent CsO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 52–60°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.65 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Cs1+ and two equivalent P5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Mn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Mn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+, two Li1+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Cs1+, two equivalent Li1+, and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+, one Li1+, one Mn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Cs1+ and two equivalent P5+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+, two Li1+, and one P5+ 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.
