Materials Data on KBaV2CuClO7 by Materials Project

Abstract

KBaV2CuO7Cl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight O2- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.90–3.32 Å. Both K–Cl bond lengths are 3.44 Å. Ba2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to eight O2- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.79–3.26 Å. Both Ba–Cl bond lengths are 3.38 Å. There are two inequivalent V5+ sites. In the first V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing VO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.70–1.85 Å. In the second V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing VO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.69–1.83 Å. Cu2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- and one Cl1- atom. There is two shorter (1.94 Å) and two longer (1.96 Å) Cu–O bond length. The Cu–Cl bond length is 2.63 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and two equivalent V5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+ and two equivalent V5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one K1+, two equivalent Ba2+, and one V5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Ba2+, and one V5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+, one Ba2+, one V5+, and one Cu2+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+, one Ba2+, one V5+, and one Cu2+ atom. Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, two equivalent Ba2+, and one Cu2+ 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.
