Materials Data on TbTiFe11C by Materials Project

Abstract

TbTiFe11C crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Ti, ten Fe, and two equivalent C atoms. The Tb–Ti bond length is 3.17 Å. There are a spread of Tb–Fe bond distances ranging from 3.07–3.30 Å. Both Tb–C bond lengths are 2.44 Å. Ti is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Tb and thirteen Fe atoms. There are a spread of Ti–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.95 Å. There are six inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe is bonded in a single-bond geometry to six Fe and one C atom. There are four shorter (2.46 Å) and two longer (2.64 Å) Fe–Fe bond lengths. The Fe–C bond length is 1.89 Å. In the second Fe site, Fe is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two equivalent Ti, six Fe, and one C atom. There are four shorter (2.48 Å) and two longer (2.65 Å) Fe–Fe bond lengths. The Fe–C bond length is 1.91 Å. In the third Fe site, Fe is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ti, six Fe, and one C atom. There are a spread of Fe–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.71 Å. The Fe–C bond length is 1.89 Å. In the fourth Fe site, Fe is bonded to two equivalent Tb, one Ti, and nine Fe atoms to form distorted FeTb2TiFe9 cuboctahedra that share corners with ten equivalent FeTb2TiFe9 cuboctahedra, corners with two equivalent CTb2Fe4 octahedra, edges with four equivalent FeTb2TiFe9 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent FeTb2TiFe9 cuboctahedra, and faces with two equivalent CTb2Fe4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 67–69°. There are a spread of Fe–Fe bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.63 Å. In the fifth Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Ti and eight Fe atoms. All Fe–Fe bond lengths are 2.98 Å. In the sixth Fe site, Fe is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to one Tb, two equivalent Ti, and eleven Fe atoms. The Fe–Fe bond length is 2.41 Å. C is bonded to two equivalent Tb and four Fe atoms to form CTb2Fe4 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent FeTb2TiFe9 cuboctahedra, corners with two equivalent CTb2Fe4 octahedra, and faces with eight equivalent FeTb2TiFe9 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 2°.

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.
