Materials Data on Sr2FeN2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Sr2FeN2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to four N3- atoms to form distorted SrN4 trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one SrN6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent SrN4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent SrN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°. There are a spread of Sr–N bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.73 Å. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to six N3- atoms to form SrN6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one SrN4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one SrN4 trigonal pyramid, edges with two equivalent SrN6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent SrN4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent SrN4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Sr–N bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.78 Å. In the third Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four N3- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–N bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.75 Å. In the fourth Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four N3- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–N bond distances ranging from 2.63–2.69 Å. In the fifth Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to four N3- atoms to form distorted SrN4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one SrN6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent SrN4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent SrN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 16°. There are a spread of Sr–N bond distances ranging from 2.61–2.72 Å. There are three inequivalent Fe2+ sites. In the first Fe2+ site, Fe2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N3- atoms. Both Fe–N bond lengths are 1.85 Å. In the second Fe2+ site, Fe2+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three N3- atoms. There is one shorter (1.82 Å) and two longer (1.87 Å) Fe–N bond length. In the third Fe2+ site, Fe2+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three N3- atoms. There are a spread of Fe–N bond distances ranging from 1.77–1.83 Å. There are five inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded to five Sr2+ and one Fe2+ atom to form distorted NSr5Fe octahedra that share corners with eleven NSr5Fe octahedra, corners with three equivalent NSr3Fe2 trigonal bipyramids, and an edgeedge with one NSr5Fe octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–63°. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded to five Sr2+ and one Fe2+ atom to form distorted NSr5Fe octahedra that share corners with four NSr5Fe octahedra, corners with three equivalent NSr3Fe2 trigonal bipyramids, edges with six NSr5Fe octahedra, and an edgeedge with one NSr3Fe2 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 14–61°. In the third N3- site, N3- is bonded to three Sr2+ and two equivalent Fe2+ atoms to form distorted NSr3Fe2 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with seven NSr5Fe octahedra, edges with three NSr5Fe octahedra, and an edgeedge with one NSr3Fe2 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 20–76°. In the fourth N3- site, N3- is bonded to five Sr2+ and one Fe2+ atom to form distorted NSr5Fe octahedra that share corners with six NSr5Fe octahedra, a cornercorner with one NSr3Fe2 trigonal bipyramid, edges with six NSr5Fe octahedra, and an edgeedge with one NSr3Fe2 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–63°. In the fifth N3- site, N3- is bonded to four Sr2+ and two equivalent Fe2+ atoms to form distorted NSr4Fe2 octahedra that share corners with six NSr5Fe octahedra, edges with five NSr5Fe octahedra, and an edgeedge with one NSr3Fe2 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–62°.

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.
