Materials Data on V2CuH6(NO3)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

V2CuH6(NO3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent V5+ sites. In the first V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuN2O4 octahedra and corners with two equivalent VO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–56°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.65–1.82 Å. In the second V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuN2O4 octahedra and corners with two equivalent VO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–52°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.66–1.82 Å. Cu2+ is bonded to two N3- and four O2- atoms to form distorted CuN2O4 octahedra that share corners with four VO4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.99 Å) and one longer (2.00 Å) Cu–N bond length. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.70 Å. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Cu2+ and three H1+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and two longer (1.03 Å) N–H bond length. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Cu2+ and three H1+ atoms. There is two shorter (1.02 Å) and one longer (1.03 Å) N–H bond length. There are six inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one V5+ and one Cu2+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two V5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one V5+ and one Cu2+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V5+ and one Cu2+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one V5+ and one Cu2+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two V5+ atoms.

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.
