Materials Data on SnH6C2S by Materials Project

Abstract

SnC2H6S crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_32_12 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four hexamethylcyclotristannathiane molecules. there are two inequivalent Sn4+ sites. In the first Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to two equivalent C4- and two equivalent S2- atoms to form corner-sharing SnC2S2 tetrahedra. Both Sn–C bond lengths are 2.16 Å. Both Sn–S bond lengths are 2.44 Å. In the second Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to two C4- and two S2- atoms to form corner-sharing SnC2S2 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (2.15 Å) and one longer (2.17 Å) Sn–C bond lengths. There are one shorter (2.45 Å) and one longer (2.47 Å) Sn–S bond lengths. There are three inequivalent C4- sites. In the first C4- site, C4- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Sn4+ and three H1+ atoms. There is two shorter (1.09 Å) and one longer (1.10 Å) C–H bond length. In the second C4- site, C4- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Sn4+ and three H1+ atoms. All C–H bond lengths are 1.10 Å. In the third C4- site, C4- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Sn4+ and three H1+ atoms. There is two shorter (1.09 Å) and one longer (1.10 Å) C–H bond length. There are nine inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the eighth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. In the ninth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4- atom. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Sn4+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two 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.
