Li2V3MnO8 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form LiO5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one VO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one MnO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent LiO5 square pyramids, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with five VO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one LiO5 square pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–12°. There are three shorter (2.02 Å) and two longer (2.12 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form LiO5 square pyramids that share corners with two VO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent LiO5 square pyramids, an edgeedge with one MnO6 octahedra, edges with six VO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one LiO5 square pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.18 Å. There are three inequivalent V4+ sites. In the first V4+ site, V4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted VO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one MnO6 octahedra, corners with three VO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one LiO5 square pyramid, edges with two VO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and edges with four LiO5 square pyramids.

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.
