Materials Data on Sr6CoC2N7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Sr6CoC2N7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded to six N3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SrN6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are a spread of Sr–N bond distances ranging from 2.61–3.10 Å. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six N3- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–N bond distances ranging from 2.53–3.02 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 2.58–2.81 Å. Co1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent N3- atoms. Both Co–N bond lengths are 1.83 Å. C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two N3- atoms. There is one shorter (1.24 Å) and one longer (1.25 Å) C–N bond length. There are four inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded to six Sr2+ atoms to form edge-sharing NSr6 octahedra. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded to five Sr2+ and one Co1+ atom to form distorted NSr5Co octahedra that share a cornercorner with one NSr5Co octahedra and edges with four NSr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. In the third N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Sr2+ and one C4+ atom. In the fourth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Sr2+ and one C4+ 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.
