Materials Data on V5N4O by Materials Project

Abstract

V5N4O is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent V+2.80+ sites. In the first V+2.80+ site, V+2.80+ is bonded to five N3- and one O2- atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing VN5O octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–4°. There are a spread of V–N bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.24 Å. The V–O bond length is 2.22 Å. In the second V+2.80+ site, V+2.80+ is bonded to five N3- and one O2- atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing VN5O octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–4°. There are a spread of V–N bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.20 Å. The V–O bond length is 2.22 Å. In the third V+2.80+ site, V+2.80+ is bonded to five N3- and one O2- atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing VN5O octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–4°. There are a spread of V–N bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.20 Å. The V–O bond length is 2.23 Å. In the fourth V+2.80+ site, V+2.80+ is bonded to five N3- and one O2- atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing VN5O octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–5°. There are a spread of V–N bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.24 Å. The V–O bond length is 2.24 Å. In the fifth V+2.80+ site, V+2.80+ is bonded to four N3- and two equivalent O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing VN4O2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–3°. There are a spread of V–N bond distances ranging from 2.14–2.17 Å. Both V–O bond lengths are 2.14 Å. There are four inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded to six V+2.80+ atoms to form NV6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one OV6 octahedra, corners with five NV6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent OV6 octahedra, and edges with nine NV6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–5°. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded to six V+2.80+ atoms to form NV6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one OV6 octahedra, corners with five NV6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent OV6 octahedra, and edges with nine NV6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–5°. In the third N3- site, N3- is bonded to six V+2.80+ atoms to form NV6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one OV6 octahedra, corners with five NV6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent OV6 octahedra, and edges with nine NV6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–4°. In the fourth N3- site, N3- is bonded to six V+2.80+ atoms to form NV6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one OV6 octahedra, corners with five NV6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent OV6 octahedra, and edges with nine NV6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–5°. O2- is bonded to six V+2.80+ atoms to form OV6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent OV6 octahedra, corners with four NV6 octahedra, and edges with twelve NV6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°.

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.
