Materials Data on Sb4S7N2 by Materials Project

Abstract

(Sb2S3)2SN2 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of eight SN2 clusters and four Sb2S3 ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. In each SN2 cluster, there are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S2- atom. The N–S bond length is 1.47 Å. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S2- atom. The N–S bond length is 1.47 Å. S2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two N3- atoms. In each Sb2S3 ribbon, there are four inequivalent Sb5+ sites. In the first Sb5+ site, Sb5+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three S2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.47 Å) and one longer (2.49 Å) Sb–S bond lengths. In the second Sb5+ site, Sb5+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three S2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.46 Å) and two longer (2.48 Å) Sb–S bond lengths. In the third Sb5+ site, Sb5+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three S2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.46 Å) and two longer (2.49 Å) Sb–S bond lengths. In the fourth Sb5+ site, Sb5+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three S2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.46 Å) and one longer (2.55 Å) Sb–S bond lengths. There are twelve inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Sb5+ atoms. There are one shorter (2.47 Å) and one longer (2.49 Å) S–Sb bond lengths. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two Sb5+ atoms. The S–Sb bond length is 2.48 Å. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Sb5+ atoms. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two Sb5+ atoms. The S–Sb bond length is 2.49 Å. In the fifth S2- site, S2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Sb5+ atoms. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Sb5+ atoms. There are one shorter (2.49 Å) and one longer (2.55 Å) S–Sb bond lengths. In the seventh S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Sb5+ atoms. The S–Sb bond length is 2.48 Å. In the eighth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Sb5+ atoms. In the ninth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Sb5+ atoms. There are one shorter (2.46 Å) and one longer (2.47 Å) S–Sb bond lengths. In the tenth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Sb5+ atoms. The S–Sb bond length is 2.47 Å. In the eleventh S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Sb5+ atoms. The S–Sb bond length is 2.46 Å. In the twelfth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Sb5+ atoms. The S–Sb bond length is 2.46 Å.

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.
