Abstract
En 中文
Solid-state hydrogen storage is a promising approach to overcome challenges in hydrogen technology. Modified graphene-based materials with transition metals (TM) as Mn and Cd are good candidates. We are studying the structural, electronic, and H2 storage properties of graphene that have recently been designed to find a material that can efficiently store a lot of hydrogen (H2). Density functional theory (DFT) studies confirm that doping and vacancy creation enhances reactivity of hydrogen. Mn/Cd decorated graphene achieves an 8.6 wt% capacity by multi-H-2 adsorption. An ideal average adsorption energy of -0.49 eV/H-2 was established via Kubas-type Mn-d to H-s charge transfer, which yields a corresponding desorption temperature of 340 K at 1-bar and 426 K at 10-bar. These engineered structures show superior storage properties, motivating experimental confirmation to advance realistic hydrogen storage technologies.
