Materials Data on V2Re2O11 by Materials Project

Abstract

V2Re2O11 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent V5+ sites. In the first V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent ReO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one VO5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 15–30°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.67–1.81 Å. In the second V5+ site, V5+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form VO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent ReO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one VO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent ReO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 13–24°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.00 Å. There are two inequivalent Re6+ sites. In the first Re6+ site, Re6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form ReO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent VO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Re–O bond distances ranging from 1.72–1.78 Å. In the second Re6+ site, Re6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted ReO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent VO4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent VO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Re–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–2.32 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two V5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V5+ and one Re6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one V5+ and one Re6+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V5+ and one Re6+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to one V5+ and one Re6+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one V5+ and one Re6+ 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.
