Abstract

K2V3P2O13F2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent K sites. In the first K site, K is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight O and two F atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.83–3.27 Å. There are one shorter (2.80 Å) and one longer (2.81 Å) K–F bond lengths. In the second K site, K is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to seven O and two F atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.76–3.23 Å. There are one shorter (2.77 Å) and one longer (3.23 Å) K–F bond lengths. There are three inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V is bonded to five O and one F atom to form distorted VO5F octahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra and a faceface with one VO5F octahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.64–2.14 Å. The V–F bond length is 2.11 Å. In the second V site, V is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four O and two equivalent F atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.66–2.20 Å. There are one shorter (1.97 Å) and one longer (2.29 Å) V–F bond lengths. In the third V site, V is bonded to five O and one F atom to form distorted VO5F octahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra and a faceface with one VO5F octahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–2.09 Å. The V–F bond length is 2.11 Å. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four VO5F octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 33–57°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.59 Å. In the second P site, P is bonded to four O atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four VO5F octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 31–55°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.60 Å. There are thirteen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one K, one V, and one P atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K, one V, and one P atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two V and one P atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one K, one V, and one P atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K, one V, and one P atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one K, one V, and one P atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two V and one P atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K, one V, and one P atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two K and one V atom. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three K and one V atom. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two K and one V atom. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one K and one V atom. In the thirteenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one K atom. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two K and two equivalent V atoms. In the second F site, F is bonded in a distorted trigonal pyramidal geometry to two K and two V 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.
