Materials Data on Li2MnVP2(O4F)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li2VMnP2(O4F)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five O2- and one F1- atom. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.22–2.80 Å. The Li–F bond length is 2.03 Å. V4+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal bipyramidal geometry to six O2- and two equivalent F1- atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.57 Å. Both V–F bond lengths are 2.12 Å. Mn2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent O2- and two equivalent F1- atoms. Both Mn–O bond lengths are 1.99 Å. Both Mn–F bond lengths are 1.98 Å. P5+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.20–2.34 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one V4+, one P5+, and one F1- atom. The O–F bond length is 1.80 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Mn2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one V4+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one V4+, and one P5+ atom. F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one V4+, one Mn2+, and one O2- 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.
