A van der Waals corrected density-functional theory study A1 Lebon, Alexandre A1 Aguilera del Toro, Rodrigo Humberto A1 Gallego, Luis Javier A1 Vega Hierro, Andrés K1 Hydrogen storage K1 Almacenamiento de hidrógeno K1 Quantum topological chemistry K1 Química cuántica topológica K1 Density functional theory K1 Teoría del funcional de densidad AB We performed standard and van der Waals-corrected density functional theorycalculations to investigate the hydrogen storage capacity of a phase ofborophene with Pmmn symmetry and nonzero thickness. This borophenesheet (Pmmn8) has 8 atoms in its unit cell and is more stable than theplanar sheet and that the corrugated Pmmn2 sheet (2 atoms in the unitcell). Our results show that, in pristine form, the Pmmn8 sheet is not suitedfor hydrogen storage applications. However, decoration with Li atoms andstrain increase the hydrogen storage ability of the sheet. We performed alsoa detailed quantum chemical topological analysis that shows that the B-Liinteraction in the hydrogenated Li-decorated Pmmn8 sheet is ionic. Ourresults for the adsorption of H2 on the Li-decorated Pmmn8 sheet are comparedwith those obtained for the adsorption of H2 on Ti-decorated zigzaggraphene nanoribbons.
