Materials Data on Sr2BN2F by Materials Project

Abstract

Sr2BN2F crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to three N3- and three equivalent F1- atoms to form distorted SrN3F3 octahedra that share corners with five equivalent SrN5F octahedra and edges with seven SrN3F3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–77°. There are one shorter (2.54 Å) and two longer (2.77 Å) Sr–N bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.51 Å) and one longer (2.55 Å) Sr–F bond lengths. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to five N3- and one F1- atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SrN5F octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–77°. There are a spread of Sr–N bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.80 Å. The Sr–F bond length is 2.55 Å. B3+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two N3- atoms. There is one shorter (1.34 Å) and one longer (1.36 Å) B–N bond length. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Sr2+ and one B3+ atom. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded to three Sr2+ and one B3+ atom to form distorted NSr3B trigonal pyramids that share corners with five equivalent FSr4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent NSr3B trigonal pyramids. F1- is bonded to four Sr2+ atoms to form FSr4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FSr4 tetrahedra, corners with five equivalent NSr3B trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent FSr4 tetrahedra.

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.
