IV.D.2 Hydrogen Storage Materials with Binding Intermediate between Physisorption and Chemisorption
نویسندگان
چکیده
This project aims to develop new porous hydrogen storage materials which utilize molecular chemisorption of hydrogen rather than mere physisorption, and ultimately do this in low weight hybrid materials. Stronger binding of hydrogen should result in greater capacity and lower operating pressures at room temperature. These studies should lead to the design and synthesis of hydrogen storage materials that meet the DOE 2010 hydrogen storage system targets, especially those for specific energy, energy density and operating conditions.

Hydrogen Storage in Rippled Graphene: Perspectives from Multi-Scale Simulations
Exploring new perspectives for green technologies is one of the challenges of the third millennium, in which the need for non-polluting and renewable powering has become primary. In this context, the use of hydrogen as a fuel is promising, since the energy released in its oxidation per unit mass (~142 MJ/kg) is three times that released, on average, by hydrocarbons, and the combustion product i...
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 Adsorption on (5,0) and (3,3) Na-decorated BNNTs
The storage capacity of hydrogen on Na-decorated born nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) is investigated by using density functional theory within Quantum Espresso and Gaussian 09. The results obtained predict that a single Na atom tends to occupy above the central region of the hexagonal rings in (5,0) and (3,3) BNNT structures with a binding energy of -2.67 and -4.28 eV/Na-atom respectively. When a si...

The density functional theory (DFT) has been used to simultaneously investigate physic/chemisorption properties of hydrogen on the (5, 5) boron nitride nanotube (BNNT). Geometry optimizations were carried out at B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory using Gaussian 98 suites of program. Physisorption of H outside 2 the BNNT with a vertical orientation to the tube axis above a nitrogen atom is the most st...
