Abstract

KMgCu4V3O13 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.20 Å. Mg2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six VO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one CuO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.27 Å. There are three inequivalent V5+ sites. In the first V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent MgO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–68°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.69–1.94 Å. In the second V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent MgO6 octahedra and corners with four CuO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 34°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.70–1.82 Å. In the third V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one MgO6 octahedra and corners with four CuO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 45°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.70–1.78 Å. There are three inequivalent Cu2+ sites. In the first Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.32 Å. In the second Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted CuO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four VO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one CuO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.08 Å. In the third Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form CuO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four VO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one MgO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one CuO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.21 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Mg2+, one V5+, and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms to form distorted OMgVCu2 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent OCu4 trigonal pyramids and edges with two equivalent OMgVCu2 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Mg2+, and one V5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one V5+ and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Mg2+, one V5+, and two Cu2+ atoms to form distorted OMgVCu2 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one OMgVCu2 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent OCu4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with two OMgVCu2 tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one V5+ and two Cu2+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Cu2+ atoms to form corner-sharing OCu4 trigonal pyramids. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one V5+ and one Cu2+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent K1+, one Mg2+, and one V5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one K1+, one V5+, and two Cu2+ atoms. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one K1+, one V5+, and one Cu2+ 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.
