▎ 摘  要

Based on first-principles method, the electron structure of porous graphene (PG) and adsorption ability of H-2 molecular on Y-decorated porous graphene are investigated using CASTEP code. It is found that the bridge of C-C bond which connects two C hexagons is favorable site for a Y atom adsorbed on the single side of PG, and six H-2 molecules can be absorbed around a Y atom with average adsorption energy of -0.297 eV/H-2 computed by GGA-PBE functional. Though two Y atoms can be stably adsorbed on the same side of one unit cell of PG, there isn't sufficient space for H-2 absorbing around each Y atom. To improve capability of hydrogen storage, the unit cell of PG with single side should only contain one Y atom. For the case of double side of porous graphene, two Y atoms are preferably located above the center of the different C hexagon. Fourteen H-2 molecules can be absorbed on both sides of PG, and the gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity is 7.87 wt.% with the average adsorption energy of -0.23 eV/H-2. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
