Abstract

Na2VMnF7 crystallizes in the trigonal P3_2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven F1- atoms. There are a spread of Na–F bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.74 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to seven F1- atoms to form distorted NaF7 pentagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one MnF6 octahedra, corners with two VF6 octahedra, edges with two VF6 octahedra, and edges with two MnF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–68°. There are a spread of Na–F bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.73 Å. In the third Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight F1- atoms. There are a spread of Na–F bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.97 Å. In the fourth Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven F1- atoms. There are a spread of Na–F bond distances ranging from 2.17–2.90 Å. There are two inequivalent V3+ sites. In the first V3+ site, V3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form VF6 octahedra that share corners with four MnF6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one NaF7 pentagonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one NaF7 pentagonal bipyramid.

In the second Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form MnF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent MnF6 octahedra, corners with four VF6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one NaF7 pentagonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one NaF7 pentagonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–50°. There are a spread of Mn–F bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.15 Å. There are fourteen inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded to three Na1+ and one V3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing FNa3V tetrahedra. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded to three Na1+ and one V3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing FNa3V tetrahedra.

In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one V3+, and one Mn2+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Na1+ and two Mn2+ atoms. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Na1+ and two Mn2+ atoms. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Na1+, one V3+, and one Mn2+ 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.
