▎ 摘　　要

H-2 storage capabilities of penta-octa-graphene (POG) adorned by lightweight alkali metals (Li, Na, K), alkali earth metals (Be, Mg, Ca) and transition metals (Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn) are studied by density functional theory. Metals considered, with the exception of Be and Mg, can be stably adsorbed to POG, effectively avoiding metal clustering. The average H(2 )adsorption energies are calculated in a range from 0.14 to 0.95 eV for Li (Na, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn) decorated POG. Because the H-2 adsorption energies for reversible physical adsorption lie in the range of 0.15-0.60 eV and the desorption temperatures fall in the range of 233-333 K under the delivery pressure, 4Li@POG and 2Ti@POG are found to be the most suitable for H-2 storage at ambient temperature. By polarization and hybridization mechanisms, up to 3 and 5 hydrogen molecules are stably adsorbed around each Li and Ti, respectively. The H-2 gravimetric densities can reach up to 9.9 wt% and 6.5 wt% for Li and Ti decorated POG, respectively. Our findings suggest that, with metal decoration, such a novel two-dimensional carbon-based structure could be a promising medium for H-2 storage. (c) 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
