ABSTRACT
|
Herein, the hydrogen storage competency of vanadium-decorated biphenylene (Bi+V) has been investigated using Density Functional Theory simulations. The metal atom interacts with biphenylene with a binding energy value of –2.49 eV because of charge transfer between V 3d and C 2p orbitals. The structure and electronic properties are studied in terms of adsorption energy values, the spin-polarized partial density of states (PDOS), band structure plots, and charge transfer analysis. The Kubas-type interactions lead to average hydrogen adsorption energy values of –0.51 eV/H2 which fulfills DOE-US criteria (0.2 e 0.7 eV/H2). The diffusion energy barrier value of 1.75 eV lowers the chances of metal clustering. The complex binds 5H2 on each V-atom resulting in a storage capacity of 7.52 wt % with an average desorption temperature of 595.96 K. The ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) and phonon dispersions validates structural integrity at higher temperatures suggesting the excellent storage properties of this material at room temperature. |
