Materials Data on Ti3(HO2)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ti3(HO2)2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Ti3(HO2)2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Ti2+ sites. In the first Ti2+ site, Ti2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. There are three shorter (2.15 Å) and three longer (2.16 Å) Ti–O bond lengths. In the second Ti2+ site, Ti2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–2°. All Ti–O bond lengths are 2.11 Å. H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Ti2+ and one H1+ atom. All O–Ti bond lengths are 2.16 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to six Ti2+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OTi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All O–Ti bond lengths are 2.15 Å. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to six Ti2+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OTi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Ti2+ and one H1+ atom. The O–H bond length is 0.99 Å.

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.
