Materials Data on Sn5C8Se10N2O by Materials Project

Abstract

Sn5C8N2Se10O crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sn4+ sites. In the first Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Se2- atoms. All Sn–Se bond lengths are 3.13 Å. In the second Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Se2- and one O2- atom. There are a spread of Sn–Se bond distances ranging from 2.60–3.31 Å. The Sn–O bond length is 2.33 Å. There are two inequivalent C1+ sites. In the first C1+ site, C1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one N3- and one Se2- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.48 Å. The C–Se bond length is 1.85 Å. In the second C1+ site, C1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one C1+, one N3-, and one Se2- atom. The C–C bond length is 1.33 Å. The C–N bond length is 1.51 Å. The C–Se bond length is 1.86 Å. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent C1+ atoms. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent C1+ atoms. There are three inequivalent Se2- sites. In the first Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Sn4+ atoms. In the second Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Sn4+ and one C1+ atom. In the third Se2- site, Se2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Sn4+ and one C1+ atom. O2- is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Sn4+ atoms.

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.
