A three-dimensional aromatic B6Li8 complex as a high capacity hydrogen storage material.

چکیده
The B(6)Li(8) cluster is a symmetrical 3D complex whose high stability can be understood through the Wade rule and aromaticity. A new mechanism of B-Li chemical bonding is proposed. Importantly, B(6)Li(8) is predicted to be a promising candidate for hydrogen storage material with gravimetric density reaching up to a theoretical limit of 24%.

Study of Dehydrogenation of Pressure-induced NaBH4 Structures Using Calculated NQCC Parameters
Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy is an accurate method for determination of electric charge distribution around quadrupolar nuclei. Using ab initio computational methods, it is possible to calculate the Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants (NQCCs) with high accuracy and obtain the useful structural information by using these parameters. Sodium Borohydride, NaBH4, is a metal hydr...
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 کاملBoron-substituted graphyne as a versatile material with high storage capacities of Li and H2: a multiscale theoretical study.
Based on density functional theory (DFT), first-principles molecular dynamics (MD), and the grand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo (GCMC) method, we investigated the boron substitution in aromatic rings of graphyne in terms of geometric and electronic structures as well as its bifunctional application including Li and H2 storage. The calculated binding energies of B-doped graphyne (BG) are signif...

متن کاملGravimetric storage capacity of Hydrogen on C24H12 Coronene and its Si substituted at 298 K, a Monte Carlo Simulation
In this study, the radial distribution and gravimetric storage capacities of hydrogen on coronene (C24H12) and its Si substituted forms, C24H12, C24-nSinH12 (n= 4-24), have been investigated at 298 K and 0.1 MPa (standard situation) using (N,V,T) Monte Carlo simulation by Lennard-Jones (LJ) 12-6 potential. The results show that the increase of number of silicon substitution doesn’t have any eff...
