▎ 摘　　要

Hydrogen storage capacity on Titanium (Ti) decorated porous graphene (PG) has been investigated using density functional theory simulations with generalized gradient approximation method. The possible adsorption sites of Ti atom on PG and electronic properties of Ti-PG system are also discussed. The results show a Ti atom prefers to strongly adsorb on the center site above the C hexagon with the binding energy of 3.65 eV, and the polarization and the hybridization mechanisms both contribute to the Ti atom adsorption on PG. To avoid a tendency of clustering among Ti atoms, the single side of the PG unit cell should only contain one Ti atom. For the single side of PG, four H-2 molecules can be adsorbed around Ti atom, and the adsorption mechanism of H-2 molecules come from not only the polarization mechanism between Ti and H atoms but also the orbital hybridization among Ti atom, H-2 molecules and C atoms. For the case of double sides of PG, eight H-2 molecules can be adsorbed on Ti-decorated PG unit cell with the average adsorption energy of -0.457 eV, and the gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity is 6.11 wt.%. Furthermore, ab inito molecular-dynaics simulation result shows that six H-2 molecules can be adsorbed on double sides of unit cell of Ti-PG system and the configuration of Ti-PG is very stable at 300 K and without external pressure, which indicates Ti-decorated PG could be considered as a potential hydrogen storage medium at ambient conditions.
