Materials Data on EuV(SeO4)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

EuV(SeO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Eu3+ sites. In the first Eu3+ site, Eu3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Eu–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.73 Å. In the second Eu3+ site, Eu3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Eu–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.74 Å. V5+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.66–2.46 Å. There are four inequivalent Se4+ sites. In the first Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.69 Å) and two longer (1.76 Å) Se–O bond length. In the second Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.72 Å) and two longer (1.74 Å) Se–O bond length. In the third Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.69 Å) and two longer (1.78 Å) Se–O bond length. In the fourth Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.72 Å) and two longer (1.75 Å) Se–O bond length. There are eleven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Eu3+ and one Se4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three Eu3+ and one Se4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Eu3+ and one Se4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Eu3+ and one V5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent V5+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent V5+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one V5+ and one Se4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Eu3+ and one Se4+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Eu3+ and one Se4+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Eu3+ and one Se4+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V5+ and one Se4+ 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.
