Zusammenfassung: | Quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to investigate the hydrogen adsorption characteristics of the Li4B2 cluster. Calculations reveal that the cluster can adsorb a maximum of thirteen H2 molecules reaching a considerably high gravimetric density of 34.66 wt%. The nature of the interaction between the H2 molecule and Li center has been investigated within the realm of quantum theory of atoms in molecules which revealed the non-covalent character. The fate of H2 absorption by the cluster has been studied in the course of a 2000 fs time evolution through Born–Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations at different temperatures. The outcomes reveal that the H2 molecules are strongly bound at 77 K and get slowly released at elevated temperatures. |
