Materials Data on Li3V2(O2F)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li3V2(O2F)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to three O2- and three F1- atoms to form distorted LiO3F3 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO3F3 octahedra, corners with three equivalent VO6 octahedra, edges with three VO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO3F3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–16°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.44 Å. There is one shorter (1.92 Å) and two longer (2.00 Å) Li–F bond length. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to three O2- and three F1- atoms to form distorted LiO3F3 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO3F3 octahedra, corners with three equivalent VO6 octahedra, edges with three VO6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent LiO3F3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–16°. There are one shorter (2.31 Å) and two longer (2.45 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There is two shorter (1.91 Å) and one longer (1.93 Å) Li–F bond length. There are two inequivalent V+3.50+ sites. In the first V+3.50+ site, V+3.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO3F3 octahedra, edges with four LiO3F3 octahedra, and edges with six VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 14–16°. There are four shorter (2.04 Å) and two longer (2.08 Å) V–O bond lengths. In the second V+3.50+ site, V+3.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO3F3 octahedra, edges with five LiO3F3 octahedra, and edges with six VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 11–16°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.03 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+ and three V+3.50+ atoms to form distorted OLi2V3 square pyramids that share corners with five OLi2V3 square pyramids, a cornercorner with one FLi5 trigonal bipyramid, edges with three equivalent OLi3V3 octahedra, edges with four OLi2V3 square pyramids, and an edgeedge with one FLi5 trigonal bipyramid. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+ and three V+3.50+ atoms to form OLi2V3 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one OLi3V3 octahedra, corners with four OLi2V3 square pyramids, corners with two equivalent FLi5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with three equivalent OLi3V3 octahedra, edges with four equivalent OLi2V3 square pyramids, and an edgeedge with one FLi5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 2°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and three V+3.50+ atoms to form OLi3V3 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent OLi3V3 octahedra, a cornercorner with one OLi2V3 square pyramid, corners with three equivalent FLi5 trigonal bipyramids, edges with nine OLi2V3 square pyramids, and an edgeedge with one FLi5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four Li1+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded to five Li1+ atoms to form FLi5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with three equivalent OLi3V3 octahedra, corners with four OLi2V3 square pyramids, an edgeedge with one OLi3V3 octahedra, edges with three OLi2V3 square pyramids, and edges with two equivalent FLi5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 13–19°.

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.
