Abstract

V3Fe2ZnO11 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent V5+ sites. In the first V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent ZnO6 octahedra, and corners with three equivalent FeO5 trigonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–72°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.71–1.80 Å. In the second V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted VO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one VO4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent FeO5 trigonal bipyramids, an edgeedge with one FeO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one VO5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 36–46°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.69–1.94 Å. In the third V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent ZnO6 octahedra, and a cornercorner with one VO5 trigonal bipyramid.

Zn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with six VO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one FeO5 trigonal bipyramid, an edgeedge with one FeO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one ZnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.46 Å. There are eleven inequivalent O2- sites.

In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent V5+ and one Fe+2.50+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V5+, one Fe+2.50+, and one Zn2+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one V5+, one Fe+2.50+, and one Zn2+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one V5+ and two Fe+2.50+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one V5+ and one Zn2+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one V5+ and one Fe+2.50+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two V5+ and one Fe+2.50+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one V5+ and two equivalent Zn2+ 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.
