Materials Data on K3V(SO5)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

K3VO2(SO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.15 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form KO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with four SO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one SO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.02 Å. In the third K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.01 Å. V5+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.66–2.54 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 equivalent KO7 pentagonal bipyramids and an edgeedge with one KO7 pentagonal bipyramid. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.56 Å. In the second S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent KO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.57 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one K1+, one V5+, and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent K1+, one V5+, and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two K1+, one V5+, and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two K1+, one V5+, and one S6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two K1+ and one S6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two K1+ and one V5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three K1+ and one S6+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two K1+ and one S6+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three K1+ and one S6+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three K1+ and one V5+ atom.

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.
