Materials Data on V3C4NO7 by Materials Project

Abstract

V3O7C4N crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of four C4N clusters and two V3O7 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each C4N cluster, there are four inequivalent C+0.50+ sites. In the first C+0.50+ site, C+0.50+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.54 Å. In the second C+0.50+ site, C+0.50+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.71 Å. In the third C+0.50+ site, C+0.50+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.53 Å. In the fourth C+0.50+ site, C+0.50+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.69 Å. N3- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four C+0.50+ atoms. In each V3O7 sheet, there are three inequivalent V5+ sites. In the first V5+ site, V5+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–2.07 Å. In the second V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing VO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.60–1.96 Å. In the third V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing VO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–1.85 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two V5+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three V5+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three V5+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three 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.
