Materials Data on LiVSO4F3 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiVSO4F3 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three O2- and two F1- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.61 Å. There are one shorter (1.96 Å) and one longer (2.18 Å) Li–F bond lengths. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one O2- and two F1- atoms. The Li–O bond length is 1.95 Å. There are one shorter (1.97 Å) and one longer (2.09 Å) Li–F bond lengths. There are two inequivalent V4+ sites. In the first V4+ site, V4+ is bonded to two O2- and four F1- atoms to form VO2F4 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent VO2F4 octahedra and corners with two SO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–52°. There is one shorter (1.91 Å) and one longer (2.00 Å) V–O bond length. There are a spread of V–F bond distances ranging from 1.81–1.97 Å. In the second V4+ site, V4+ is bonded to two O2- and four F1- atoms to form VO2F4 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent VO2F4 octahedra and corners with two SO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–52°. There is one shorter (1.91 Å) and one longer (2.01 Å) V–O bond length. There are a spread of V–F bond distances ranging from 1.81–1.97 Å. There are two inequivalent S6+ sites. In the first S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two VO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–49°. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.44–1.56 Å. In the second S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two VO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°. There is two shorter (1.46 Å) and two longer (1.53 Å) S–O bond length. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one V4+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Li1+ and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one V4+ and one S6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one V4+, and one S6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li1+ and one S6+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li1+ and one S6+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one V4+ and one S6+ atom. There are six inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li1+ and one V4+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li1+ and one V4+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two V4+ atoms. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li1+ and one V4+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li1+ and one V4+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two V4+ 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.
