Hydrogen storage capacity of titanium met-cars
The adsorption of hydrogen molecules on the titanium metallocarbohedryne (met-car) cluster has been investigated by using the first-principles plane wave method. We have found that, while a single Ti atom at the corner can bind up to three hydrogen molecules, a single Ti atom on the surface of the cluster can bind only one hydrogen molecule. Accordingly, a Ti8C12 met-car can bind up to 16 H2 mo...
متن کاملTitanium-decorated carbon nanotubes as a potential high-capacity hydrogen storage medium.
We report a first-principles study, which demonstrates that a single Ti atom coated on a single-walled nanotube (SWNT) binds up to four hydrogen molecules. The first H2 adsorption is dissociative with no energy barrier while the other three adsorptions are molecular with significantly elongated H-H bonds. At high Ti coverage we show that a SWNT can strongly adsorb up to 8 wt % hydrogen. These r...
متن کاملHydrogen storage: The major technological barrier to the development of hydrogen fuel cell cars
In this paper, we review the current technology for the storage of hydrogen on board a fuel cell propelled vehicle. Having outlined the technical specifications necessary to match the performance of hydrocarbon fuel, we first outline the inherent difficulties with gas pressure and liquid hydrogen storage. We then outline the history of transition metal hydride storage, leading to the developmen...
متن کاملHydrogen storage capacity of Si-decorated B80 nanocage: firstprinciples DFT calculation and MD simulation
Hydrogen storage capacity of Si-coated B80 fullerene was investigated based on density functional theory calculations within local density approximation and generalized gradient approximation. It is found that Si atom prefer to be attached above the center of pentagon with a binding energy of -5.78 eV. It is inferred that this binding is due to the charge transfer between the Si atom and B80 ca...
متن کاملHydrogen Storage Capacity of Carbon-Foams: Grand CanonicalMonte Carlo Simulations
Hydrogen storage in the three-dimensional carbon foams is analyzed using classical grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The calculated storage capacities of the foams meet the material-based DOE targets and are comparable to the capacities of a bundle of wellseparated similar diameter open nanotubes. The pore sizes in the foams are optimized for the best hydrogen uptake. The capacity depend...
