Materials Data on Sn2C6N2O17 by Materials Project

Abstract

(Sn2(C2O5)3)2N2(NO2)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of four ammonia molecules, four nitrous acid molecules, and one Sn2(C2O5)3 framework. In the Sn2(C2O5)3 framework, there are two inequivalent Sn4+ sites. In the first Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded in a pentagonal pyramidal geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.25 Å. In the second Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded in a pentagonal pyramidal geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.55 Å. There are four 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 (1.24 Å) and one longer (1.30 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 (1.26 Å) and one longer (1.28 Å) C–O bond length. In the third C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.24 Å) and one longer (1.30 Å) C–O bond length. In the fourth 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 (1.28 Å) C–O bond length. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sn4+ and one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.22 Å) and one longer (2.60 Å) O–O bond length. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sn4+ and one C4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sn4+ and one C4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sn4+, one C4+, and one O2- atom. The O–O bond length is 2.92 Å. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sn4+ and one C4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Sn4+ and one C4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Sn4+ and one C4+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sn4+ and one C4+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three O2- 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.
