Abstract
The potential application of pristine Be 2 N 6 monolayer and Li-decorated Be 2 N 6 monolayer for hydrogen storage is researched by using periodic DFT calculations. Based on the obtained results, the Be 2 N 6 monolayer gets adsorb up to seven H 2 molecules with an average binding energy of 0.099 eV/H 2 which is close to the threshold energy of 0.1 eV required for practical applications. Decoration of the Be 2 N 6 monolayer with lithium atom significantly improves the hydrogen storage ability of the desired monolayer compared to that of the pristine Be 2 N 6 monolayer. This can be attributed to the polarization of H 2 molecules induced by the charge transfer from Li atoms to the Be 2 N 6 monolayer. Decoration of Be 2 N 6 monolayer with two lithium atoms gives a promising medium that can hold up to eight H 2 molecules with average adsorption energy of 0.198 eV/H 2 and hydrogen uptake capacities of 12.12 wt%. The obtained hydrogen uptake capacity of 2Li/Be 2 N 6 monolayer is much higher than the target set by the U.S. Department of Energy (5.5 wt% by 2020). Based on the van't Hoff equation, it is inferred that hydrogen desorption can occur at T D = 254 K for 2Li/Be 2 N 6 (8H 2 ) system which is close to ambient conditions. This is a remarkable result indicating important practical applications of 2Li/Be 2 N 6 medium for hydrogen storage purposes. • H 2 adsorption on the pristine and Li-decorated Be 2 N 6 monolayer is investigated. • Adsorption energies are greater than the threshold energy of 0.1 eV. • The hydrogen uptake capacity of 2Li/Be 2 N 6 is 12.12 wt%. • The results of the present study are high as the goals specified by the USDOE.
