DFT Study of Planar Boron Sheets: A New Template for Hydrogen Storage
Süleyman Er, Gilles A. de Wijs, Geert Brocks
We study the hydrogen storage properties of planar boron sheets and compare them to those of graphene. The binding of molecular hydrogen to the boron sheet (0.05 eV) is stronger th…
Hydrogen Storage by Polylithiated Molecules and Nanostructures
Süleyman Er, Gilles A. de Wijs, Geert Brocks
We study polylithiated molecules as building blocks for hydrogen storage materials, using first-principles calculations. $\clifour$ and $\olitwo$ bind 12 and 10 hydrogen molecules,…
Tunable Hydrogen Storage in Magnesium - Transition Metal Compounds
Suleyman Er, Dhirendra Tiwari, Gilles A. de Wijs +1
Magnesium dihydride ($\mgh$) stores 7.7 weight % hydrogen, but it suffers from a high thermodynamic stability and slow (de)hydrogenation kinetics. Alloying Mg with lightweight tran…
First-principles study of the optical properties of MgxTi(1-x)H2
M. J. van Setten, S. Er, G. Brocks +2
The optical and electronic properties of Mg-Ti hydrides are studied using first-principles density functional theory. Dielectric functions are calculated for MgxTi(1-x)H2 with comp…
