Theoretical study of molecular hydrogen and spiltover hydrogen storage on two-dimensional covalent-organic frameworks

Molecular hydrogen and spiltover hydrogen storages on five two-dimensional （2D） covalent-organic frameworks （COFs） （PPy-COF, TP-COF, BTP-COF, COF-18 A, and HHTP-DPB COF） are investigated using the grand canonical Monte Carlo （GCMC） simulations and the density functional theory （DFT）, respectively. The GCMC simulated results show that HHTP-DPB COF has the best performance for hydrogen storage, followed by BTP-COF, TP-COF, COF-18 A, and PPy-COE However, their adsorption amounts at room temperature are all too low to meet the uptake target set by US Department of Energy （US-DOE） and enable practical applications. The effects of pore size, surface area, and isosteric heat of hydrogen on adsorption amount are considered, which indicate that these three factors are all the important factors for determining the H2 adsorption amount. The chemisorptions of spiltover hydrogen atoms on these five COFs represented by the cluster models are investigated using the DFT method. The saturation cluster models are constructed by considering all possible adsorption sites for these cluster models. The average binding energy of a hydrogen atom and the saturation hydrogen storage density are calculated. The large average binding energy indicates that the spillover process may pro- ceed smoothly and reversibly. The saturation hydrogen storage density is much larger than the physisorption uptake of H2 molecules at 298 K and 100 bar （1 bar = 105 Pa）, and is close to or exceeds the 2010 US-DOE target of 6 wt% for hydrogen storage. This suggests that the hydrogen storage capacities of these COFs by spillover may be significantly enhanced. Thus 2D COFs studied in this paper are suitable hydrogen storage media by spillover.     

Structures and Stability of Metal Amidoboranes （MAB）： Density Functional Calculations

Molecule geometry structures, frequencies, and energetic stabilities of ammonia borane （AB, NH3BH3 ） and metal amidoboranes （MAB, MNH2BH3）, formed by substituting H atom in AB with one of main group metal atoms, have been investigated by density-functional theory and optimized at the B3LYP levels with 6-311G＋＋ （3dr, 3pd） basic set. Their structural parameters and infrared spectrum characteristic peaks have been predicted, which should be the criterion of a successfully synthesized material. Several parameters such as binding energies, vibrational frequencies, and the energy gaps between the HOMO and the LUMO have been adopted to characterize and evaluate their structure stabilities. It is also found that the binding energies and HOMO-LUMO energy gaps of the MAB obviously change with the substitution of the atoms. MgAB has the lowest binding energy and is easier to decompose than any other substitutional structures under same conditions, while CaAB has the highest chemical activity.     

Metal-decorated defective BN nanosheets as hydrogen storage materials

Density functional theory computations were performed to investigate hydrogen adsorption in metaldecorated defective BN nanosheets. The binding energies of Ca and Sc on pristine BN nanosheets are much lower than the corresponding cohesive energies of the bulk metals; however, B vacancies in BN nanosheets enhance the binding of Ca and Sc atoms dramatically and avoid the clustering of the metal atoms on the surface of BN nanosheets. Ca and Sc strongly bind to defective BN nanosheets due to charge transfer between metal atoms and BN nanosheets. Sc-decorated BN nanosheets with B vacancies demonstrate promising hydrogen adsorption performances with a hydrogen adsorption energy of ?0.19～ ?0.35 eV/H₂.

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一原理平面波赝势方法,研究了MgH₂, LiBH₄,LiNH₂,NaAlH₄几种高密度储氢材料及其合金的释氢及影响机理.结果表明:高密储氢材料MgH₂,LiBH₄,LiNH₂,NaAlH₄都比较稳定,释氢温度都很高,合金化可以降低它们的稳定性,但系统稳定性不是决定高密度储氢材料释氢性质的关键因素;带隙的宽窄基本可以表征储氢材料成键的强弱,能隙越宽,键断开越难,释氢温度就越高;LiNH₂价带顶成键峰主要由Li—N成键贡献,N—H键构成较低的峰,使得LiNH₂储氢材料的带隙虽很窄释氢温度却较高,且放氢过程中有氨气放出;合金化使得几种高密度储氢材料的带隙变窄,费米能级进入导带,从而使它们的释氢性能大大改善;电荷布居分析发现LiBH₄中B—H键最强,LiNH₂中H—N键最弱,因此LiNH₂中H相对容易放出.合金化后,各储氢材料中X—H键强度都有所降低,且LiMgNH₂中N—H键强度最低,因此从降低释氢温度角度,发展LiNH₂储氢材料最为有利. 关键词： 储氢材料 第一原理 释氢能力     

Transition metal-metal oxide hybrids as versatile materials for hydrogen storage

Metal atom located on metal oxide (MMO) is a promising material with various applications such as hydrogen storage. As one of the metal oxides, niobium oxide (NbO) presents fascinating properties that make it a possibly applicable in MMOs. Here, we investigated the feasibility of transition metal-NbO hybrids as MMO materials for application in the hydrogen storage technology. In this respect, the hydrogen adsorption of transition metals (Fe, Ni, Cu, Pd, Ag, and Pt) decorated on the NbO nanocluster has been explored using density functional theory calculations. We found that the adsorption energy of the H₂ molecule on the NbO adsorbent is remarkably increased by locating the transition metals on the NbO metal oxide. Our results reveal that the transition metals decorated on the NbO nanocluster can act as active sites for hydrogen adsorption. Among the studied transition metals, Pt shows the highest hydrogen capacity up to 6.52 wt%.     

Genetic alloy design based on thermodynamics and kinetics

A theory-guided computational approach for alloy design is presented. Aimed at optimising the desired properties, the microstructure is designed and an alloy composition optimised accordingly, combining criteria based on thermodynamic, thermokinetic and mechanical principles. A genetic algorithm is employed as the optimisation scheme. The approach is applied to the design of ultra-high strength stainless steels. Three composition scenarios, utilising different strengthening precipitates (carbides, Cu and NiAl/Ni₃Ti), are followed. The results are compared to a variety of existing commercial high-end engineering steels, showing that the design strategy presented here may lead to significant improvements in strength beyond current levels.

Density functional theory calculations of the metal-doped carbon nanostructures as hydrogen storage systems under electric fields: A review

This review covers structural, electronic, and hydrogen storage properties of carbon-based materials with doped metals under electric fields with different orientations and intensities, which are determined by density functional theory (DFT) simulations. The special application case is considered in investigating variations of electronic structures, binding, and hydrogen storage properties. External fields that are often met in practical applications lead to changes of the above properties.     

Ti-doped nano-porous graphene: A material for hydrogen storage and sensor

Clustering of Ti on carbon nanostructures has proved to be an obstacle in their use as hydrogen storagematerials. Using density functional theory we show that Ti atoms will not cluster at moderate concentrations when doped into nanoporous graphene. Since each Ti atom can bind up to three hydrogen molecules with an average binding energy of 0.54 eV/H₂, this material can be ideal for storing hydrogen under ambient thermodynamic conditions. In addition, nanoporous graphene is magnetic with or without Ti doping, but when it is fully saturated with hydrogen, the magnetism disappears. This novel feature suggests that nanoporous graphene cannot only be used for storing hydrogen, but also as a hydrogen sensor.

Effect of metal catalyst on the mechanism of hydrogen spillover in three-dimensional covalent-organic frameworks

Hydrogen spillover mechanism of metal-supported covalent-organic frameworks COF-105 is investigated by means of the density functional theory, and the effects of metal catalysts M_4(Pt_4, Pd_4, and Ni_4) on the whole spillover process are systematically analyzed. These three metal catalysts exhibit several similar phenomena:(i) they prefer to deposit on the tetra(_4-dihydroxyborylphenyl) silane(TBPS) cluster with surface-contacted configuration;(ii) only the H atoms at the bridge site can migrate to 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxy triphenylene(HHTP) and TBPS surfaces, and the migration process is an endothermic reaction and not stable;(iii) the introduction of M_4 catalyst can greatly reduce the diffusion energy barrier of H atoms, which makes it easier for the H atoms to diffuse on the substrate surface. Differently, all of the H2 molecules spontaneously dissociate into H atoms onto Pt_4 and Pd_4clusters. However, the adsorbed H2 molecules on Ni_4 cluster show two types of adsorption states: one activated state with stretched H–H bond length of 0.88 ?A via the Kubas interaction and five dissociated states with separated hydrogen atoms. Among all the M_4 catalysts, the orders of the binding energy of M_4 deposited on the substrate and average chemisorption energy per H2 molecule are Pt_4Ni_4Pd_4. On the contrary, the orders of the migration and diffusion barriers of H atoms are Pt_4Ni_4Pd_4, which indicates that Pt_4 is the most promising catalyst for the hydrogen spillover with the lowest migration and diffusion energy barriers. However, the migration of H atoms from Pt_4 toward the substrate is still endothermic. Thus direct migration of H atom from metal catalyst toward the substrate is thermodynamically unfavorable.

PdPt Nanocubes: A High‐Performance Catalyst for Hydrolytic Dehydrogenation of Ammonia Borane

An effective way to improve the catalytic activity of metal‐based nanostructured materials is to control the size, shape, or composition. Here, the bimetallic PdPt nanoparticles (NPs) show significant dependency on the shape for catalytic hydrolysis of ammonia borane. The catalytic activity of PdPt cubic nanoparticles (cNPs) is found to be the best compared with the activities of spherical nanoparticles (sNPs) of Pd, Pt, and PdPt and cNPs of Pd under the same reaction conditions. The turnover frequency (50.02 min^?1) of PdPt cNPs for ammonia borane hydrolysis is among the values of the most active catalysts. This high catalytic performance of PdPt cNPs encourages the approach of shape and composition control for various catalytic applications.

Mössbauer study of Mg–Ni(Fe) alloys processed as materials for solid state hydrogen storage

Mg–Ni–Fe magnesium-rich intermetallic compounds were prepared following two distinct routes. A Mg₈₈Ni₁₁Fe₁ sample (A) was prepared by melt spinning Mg–Ni–Fe pellets and then by high-energy ball milling for 6 h the obtained ribbons. A (MgH₂)₈₈Ni₁₁Fe₁ sample (B) was obtained by high-energy ball milling for 20 h a mixture of Ni, Fe and MgH₂ powders in the due proportions. A SPEX8000 shaker mill with a 10:1 ball to powder ratio was used for milling in argon atmosphere. The samples were submitted to repeated hydrogen absorption/desorption cycles in a Sievert type gas–solid reaction controller at temperatures in the range 520?÷?590 K and a maximum pressure of 2.5 MPa during absorption. The samples were analysed before and after the hydrogen absorption/desorption cycles by X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The results concerning the hydrogen storage properties of the studied compounds are discussed in connection with the micro-structural characteristics found by means of the used analytical techniques. The improved kinetics of hydrogen desorption for sample A, in comparison to sample B, has been ascribed to the different behaviour of iron atoms in the two cases, as proved by Mössbauer spectroscopy. In fact, iron results homogeneously distributed in sample A, partly at the Mg₂Ni grain boundaries, with catalytic effect on the gas–solid reaction; in sample B, instead, iron is dispersed inside the hydride powder as metallic iron or superparamagnetic iron.

单壁碳纳米管储氢研究

摘要 利用Gaussian03程序计算出C-H键的键能是1.88eV,键长是0.113nm。已知H-H键能是4.748eV,键长是0.074nm。显然, H-H键能大于C-H键的键能,所以在常温常压下碳纳米管储氢时,以物理吸附H2分子为主,化学形式的C-H键吸附为辅。另外,利用LJ势能函数,计算了H2分子在碳纳米管中C原子所成的六边形中心正上方、C原子正上方以及相邻两C原子中间正上方时H2分子与碳纳米管之间的势能。得到无论管内、管外或者两端,都是H2分子在C原子所成的六边形中心正上方时能量最低。且在管内时H2分子距离管壁的距离是0.320nm,在管外时距离管壁的距离是0.309nm;在两端的管内时距离管壁的距离是0.324nm,在两端的管外时距离管壁的距离是0.313nm。
