Abstract

KBaV5O16O2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four oxygen molecules and one KBaV5O16 framework. In the KBaV5O16 framework, K is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to seven O atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.55–3.25 Å. Ba is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.66–3.22 Å. There are five inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted edge-sharing VO6 octahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.72–2.16 Å. In the second V site, V is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.66–2.35 Å. In the third V site, V is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.66–2.42 Å. In the fourth V site, V is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.64–2.24 Å. In the fifth V site, V is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.69–2.28 Å. There are sixteen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded to one K and three V atoms to form distorted edge-sharing OKV3 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one K, one Ba, and two V atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded to six V atoms to form distorted OV6 octahedra that share an edgeedge with one OV6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent OKV3 tetrahedra. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one K, one Ba, and two V atoms. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two V atoms. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two V atoms. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two V atoms. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two V atoms. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three V atoms. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two V atoms. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one K, one Ba, and one V atom. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one K, one Ba, and one V atom. In the thirteenth O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K and one V atom. In the fourteenth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one K, two equivalent Ba, and one V atom. In the fifteenth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.24 Å. In the sixteenth O site, O is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ba and one O 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.
