Reversible Hydrogen Storage in Metal-Decorated Honeycomb Borophene Oxide.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional (2D) boron-based materials are receiving much attention as H₂ storage media due to the low atomic mass of boron and the stability of decorating alkali metals on the surface, which enhance interactions with H₂. This work investigates the suitability of Li, Na, and K decorations on 2D honeycomb borophene oxide (B₂O) for H₂ storage, using dispersion corrected density functional theory (DFT-D2). A high theoretical gravimetric density of 8.3 wt % H₂ is achieved for the Li-decorated B₂O structure. At saturation, each Li binds to two H₂ with an average binding energy of -0.24 eV/H₂. Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations at temperatures of 100, 300, and 500 K demonstrate the stability of the Li-decorated structure and the H₂ desorption behavior at different temperatures. Our findings indicate that Li-decorated 2D B₂O is a promising material for reversible H₂ storage and recommend experimental investigation of 2D B₂O as a potential H₂ storage medium.

Reversible spin storage in metal oxide-fullerene heterojunctions.

Project description:We show that hybrid MnOx/C60 heterojunctions can be used to design a storage device for spin-polarized charge: a spin capacitor. Hybridization at the carbon-metal oxide interface leads to spin-polarized charge trapping after an applied voltage or photocurrent. Strong electronic structure changes, including a 1-eV energy shift and spin polarization in the C60 lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, are then revealed by x-ray absorption spectroscopy, in agreement with density functional theory simulations. Muon spin spectroscopy measurements give further independent evidence of local spin ordering and magnetic moments optically/electronically stored at the heterojunctions. These spin-polarized states dissipate when shorting the electrodes. The spin storage decay time is controlled by magnetic ordering at the interface, leading to coherence times of seconds to hours even at room temperature.

Alkali-Metal-Mediated Reversible Chemical Hydrogen Storage Using Seawater.

Project description:The economic viability and systemic sustainability of a green hydrogen economy are primarily dependent on its storage. However, none of the current hydrogen storage methods meet all the targets set by the US Department of Energy (DoE) for mobile hydrogen storage. One of the most promising routes is through the chemical reaction of alkali metals with water; however, this method has not received much attention owing to its irreversible nature. Herein, we present a reconditioned seawater battery-assisted hydrogen storage system that can provide a solution to the irreversible nature of alkali-metal-based hydrogen storage. We show that this system can also be applied to relatively lighter alkali metals such as lithium as well as sodium, which increases the possibility of fulfilling the DoE target. Furthermore, we found that small (1.75 cm2) and scaled-up (70 cm2) systems showed high Faradaic efficiencies of over 94%, even in the presence of oxygen, which enhances their viability.

Reversible Hydrogen Storage Media by g-CN Monolayer Decorated with NLi<sub>4</sub>: A First-Principles Study.

Project description:A two-dimensional graphene-like carbon nitride (g-CN) monolayer decorated with the superatomic cluster NLi4 was studied for reversible hydrogen storage by first-principles calculations. Molecular dynamics simulations show that the g-CN monolayer has good thermal stability at room temperature. The NLi4 is firmly anchored on the g-CN monolayer with a binding energy of -6.35 eV. Electronic charges are transferred from the Li atoms of NLi4 to the g-CN monolayer, mainly due to the hybridization of Li(2s), C(2p), and N(2p) orbitals. Consequently, a spatial local electrostatic field is formed around NLi4, leading to polarization of the adsorbed hydrogen molecules and further enhancing the electrostatic interactions between the Li atoms and hydrogen. Each NLi4 can adsorb nine hydrogen molecules with average adsorption energies between -0.152 eV/H2 and -0.237 eV/H2. This range is within the reversible hydrogen storage energy window. Moreover, the highest achieved gravimetric capacity is up to 9.2 wt%, which is superior to the 5.5 wt% target set by the U.S. Department of Energy. This study shows that g-CN monolayers decorated with NLi4 are a good candidate for reversible hydrogen storage.

Graphene oxide/metal nanocrystal multilaminates as the atomic limit for safe and selective hydrogen storage.

Project description:Interest in hydrogen fuel is growing for automotive applications; however, safe, dense, solid-state hydrogen storage remains a formidable scientific challenge. Metal hydrides offer ample storage capacity and do not require cryogens or exceedingly high pressures for operation. However, hydrides have largely been abandoned because of oxidative instability and sluggish kinetics. We report a new, environmentally stable hydrogen storage material constructed of Mg nanocrystals encapsulated by atomically thin and gas-selective reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets. This material, protected from oxygen and moisture by the rGO layers, exhibits exceptionally dense hydrogen storage (6.5?wt% and 0.105?kg H2 per litre in the total composite). As rGO is atomically thin, this approach minimizes inactive mass in the composite, while also providing a kinetic enhancement to hydrogen sorption performance. These multilaminates of rGO-Mg are able to deliver exceptionally dense hydrogen storage and provide a material platform for harnessing the attributes of sensitive nanomaterials in demanding environments.

New Ti-decorated B40 fullerene as a promising hydrogen storage material.

Project description:The newly found B40 is the first experimentally observed all-boron fullerene and has potential applications in hydrogen storage. Here we investigate the binding ability and hydrogen storage capacity of Ti-decorated B40 fullerene based on DFT calculations. Our results indicate that Ti shows excellent binding capability to B40 compared with other transition metals. The B40 fullerene coated by 6 Ti atoms (Ti6B40) can store up to 34 H2 molecules, corresponding to a maximum gravimetric density of 8.7 wt%. It takes 0.2-0.4 eV/H2 to add one H2 molecule, which assures reversible storage of H2 molecules under ambient conditions. The evaluated reversible storage capacity is 6.1 wt%. Our results demonstrate that the new Ti-decorated B40 fullerene is a promising hydrogen storage material with high capacity.

Lithium-Decorated Borospherene B<sub>40</sub>: A Promising Hydrogen Storage Medium.

Project description:The recent discovery of borospherene B40 marks the onset of a new kind of boron-based nanostructures akin to the C60 buckyball, offering opportunities to explore materials applications of nanoboron. Here we report on the feasibility of Li-decorated B40 for hydrogen storage using the DFT calculations. The B40 cluster has an overall shape of cube-like cage with six hexagonal and heptagonal holes and eight close-packing B6 triangles. Our computational data show that Lim&B40(1-3) complexes bound up to three H2 molecules per Li site with an adsorption energy (AE) of 0.11-0.25?eV/H2, ideal for reversible hydrogen storage and release. The bonding features charge transfer from Li to B40. The first 18?H2 in Li6&B40(3) possess an AE of 0.11-0.18?eV, corresponding to a gravimetric density of 7.1?wt%. The eight triangular B6 corners are shown as well to be good sites for Li-decoration and H2 adsorption. In a desirable case of Li14&B40-42?H2(8), a total of 42?H2 molecules are adsorbed with an AE of 0.32?eV/H2 for the first 14?H2 and 0.12?eV/H2 for the third 14?H2. A maximum gravimetric density of 13.8?wt% is achieved in 8. The Li-B40-nH2 system differs markedly from the previous Li-C60-nH2 and Ti-B40-nH2 complexes.

Metal oxide decorated porous carbons from controlled calcination of a metal-organic framework.

Project description:Thermal decomposition of an iron-based MOF was conducted under controlled gas environments to understand the resulting porous carbon structure. Different phases and crystallite sizes of iron oxide are produced based on the specific gas species. In particular, air resulted in iron(iii) oxide, and D2O and CO2 resulted in the mixed valent iron(ii,iii) oxide. Performing the carbonization under non-oxidative or reducing conditions (N2, He, H2) resulted in the formation of a mixture of both iron(ii,iii) oxide and iron(iii) oxide. Based on in situ and air-free handling experiments, it was observed that this is partially due to the formation of zero-valent iron metal that is rapidly oxidized when exposed to air. Neutron pair distribution function analysis provided insight into the effect of the gas environment on the local structure of the porous carbon, indicating a noticeable change in local order between the D2O and the N2 calcined samples.

Surfactant-Assisted Growth of a Conversion-Type Binary Metal Oxide-Based Composite Electrode for Boosting the Reversible Lithium Storage.

Project description:High-performance anode materials play a crucial role in paving the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). NiCo2O4, as a typical binary metal oxide, has been extensively demonstrated to possess higher capacity and electrochemical activity compared with a monometal oxide such as NiO or Co3O4. However, the advances in the application of LIBs are usually limited by the relatively low electrical conductivity and large volume change during repeated charging/discharging processes. Herein, a NiCo2O4@carbon nanotube (CNT) composite electrode with advanced architecture is developed through a facile surfactant-assisted synthetic strategy. The introduced polyvinyl pyrrolidone can greatly facilitate the heterogeneous nucleation and growth of the NiCo precursor on CNTs and thus benefit the uniform transformation to a well-confined NiCo2O4@CNT composite. The CNTs combined with NiCo2O4 tightly act as both a conductive network for enhancing the ion/electron transfer and a support for mitigating the volume expansion of NiCo2O4. As a result, the NiCo2O4@CNT electrode exhibits a high initial capacity of 830.3 mA h g-1 and a good cycling stability of 608.1 mA h g-1 after 300 cycles at 2000 mA g-1.

Metal Oxide Nanolayer-Decorated Epitaxial Graphene: A Gas Sensor Study.

Project description:In this manuscript, we explore the sensor properties of epitaxially grown graphene on silicon carbide decorated with nanolayers of CuO, Fe3O4, V2O5, or ZrO2. The sensor devices were investigated in regard to their response towards NH3 as a typical reducing gas and CO, C6H6, CH2O, and NO2 as gases of interest for air quality monitoring. Moreover, the impact of operating temperature, relative humidity, and additional UV irradiation as changes in the sensing environment have been explored towards their impact on sensing properties. Finally, a cross-laboratory study is presented, supporting stable sensor responses, and the final data is merged into a simplified sensor array. This study shows that sensors can be tailored not only by using different materials but also by applying different working conditions, according to the requirements of certain applications. Lastly, a combination of several different sensors into a sensor array leads to a well-performing sensor system that, with further development, could be suitable for several applications where there is no solution on the market today.

Chemically reversible reactions of hydrogen sulfide with metal phthalocyanines.

Project description:Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important signaling molecule that exerts action on various bioinorganic targets. Despite this importance, few studies have investigated the differential reactivity of the physiologically relevant H2S and HS(-) protonation states with metal complexes. Here we report the distinct reactivity of H2S and HS(-) with zinc(II) and cobalt(II) phthalocyanine (Pc) complexes and highlight the chemical reversibility and cyclability of each metal. ZnPc reacts with HS(-), but not H2S, to generate [ZnPc-SH](-), which can be converted back to ZnPc by protonation. CoPc reacts with HS(-), but not H2S, to form [Co(I)Pc](-), which can be reoxidized to CoPc by air. Taken together, these results demonstrate the chemically reversible reaction of HS(-) with metal phthalocyanine complexes and highlight the importance of H2S protonation state in understanding the reactivity profile of H2S with biologically relevant metal scaffolds.
