Materials Data on Li3VOF5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li3VOF5 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form LiOF5 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent VOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–51°. The Li–O bond length is 2.10 Å. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.23 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one O2- and three F1- atoms. The Li–O bond length is 2.12 Å. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.13 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O2- and five F1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.61 Å) and one longer (2.65 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Li–F bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.45 Å. V4+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form VOF5 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–51°. The V–O bond length is 1.67 Å. There are a spread of V–F bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.04 Å. O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ and one V4+ atom. There are five inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded to three Li1+ and one V4+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing FLi3V trigonal pyramids. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Li1+ and one V4+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Li1+ and one V4+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Li1+ and one V4+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded to three Li1+ and one V4+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing FLi3V tetrahedra.

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.
