Materials Data on BaMnV2(AgO4)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

BaV2Mn(AgO4)2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share edges with six equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent VO4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent AgO4 trigonal pyramids, and faces with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra. There are six shorter (2.93 Å) and six longer (3.26 Å) Ba–O bond lengths. V5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent MnO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent AgO4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with three equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 36°. There is one shorter (1.71 Å) and three longer (1.77 Å) V–O bond length. Mn2+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent VO4 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent AgO4 trigonal pyramids, and faces with two equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. All Mn–O bond lengths are 2.18 Å. Ag1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form AgO4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with three equivalent MnO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent VO4 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 76°. There are three shorter (2.34 Å) and one longer (2.45 Å) Ag–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba2+, one V5+, and one Ag1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+, one V5+, one Mn2+, and one Ag1+ 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.
