چکیده

Recently, for the first time a hydrate clathrate was discovered with hydrogen. Aside from the great technological promise that is inherent in storing hydrogen at high density at modest pressures, there is great scientific interest as this would constitute the first hydrate clathrate with multiple guest molecules per cage. The multiple cage occupancy is controversial, and reproducibility of the experiments has been questioned. Therefore, in this study we try to illucidate the remarkable stability of the hydrogen hydrate clathrate, and determine the thermodynamically most favored cage occupancy using highly accurate ab initio computer simulations in a parameter survey. To carry out these extraordinary demanding computations a distributed ab initio code has been developed using the SuperSINET with the Information Technology Based Laboratory (ITBL) software as the top-layer.

Hydrogen 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...

Novel Hydrogen Hydrate Structures under Pressure

Gas hydrates are systems of prime importance. In particular, hydrogen hydrates are potential materials of icy satellites and comets, and may be used for hydrogen storage. We explore the H₂O-H₂ system at pressures in the range 0-100 GPa with ab initio variable-composition evolutionary simulations. According to our calculation and previous experiments, the H₂O-H₂ system undergoes a series of tran...
