Materials Data on SnC4N3O7 by Materials Project

Abstract

CN3Sn2C3(NO2)3(CO2)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of eight carbon dioxide molecules; two diaziridinimine molecules; and one Sn2C3(NO2)3 ribbon oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the Sn2C3(NO2)3 ribbon, there are two inequivalent Sn3+ sites. In the first Sn3+ site, Sn3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.70 Å. In the second Sn3+ site, Sn3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.71 Å. There are three inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.25 Å) and one longer (1.29 Å) C–O bond length. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.25 Å) and one longer (1.29 Å) C–O bond length. In the third C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two N+1.67- atoms. There is one shorter (1.17 Å) and one longer (1.36 Å) C–N bond length. There are three inequivalent N+1.67- sites. In the first N+1.67- site, N+1.67- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second N+1.67- site, N+1.67- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one C4+ and one N+1.67- atom. The N–N bond length is 1.20 Å. In the third N+1.67- site, N+1.67- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one N+1.67- and one O2- atom. The N–O bond length is 3.10 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Sn3+ and one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Sn3+, one N+1.67-, and one O2- atom. The O–O bond length is 1.48 Å. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sn3+ and one C4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Sn3+ and one C4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sn3+ and one C4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sn3+ 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.
