Abstract
The potential of perovskite hydride substances in hydrogen (H2) storage is a major issue in producing energy, which has drawn a lot of research. The physical and hydrogen (H2) storage properties of MgDH3 (D = Ga, Nb, Zr, W) hydrides are considered in this work using density functional theory (DFT). Based on the results, the cubic nature of MgDH3 (3.789, 3.728, 3.864, 3.573) Å optimal lattice parameters are found with space group (Pm-3m). The estimation of cohesive energy (CE) and formation energy (Hf) confirms the compound's thermal stability. The computed electronic properties disclose the hydride's metallic condition under research. The Born requirements demonstrated the anisotropic, ductile, brittle (MgWH3), and mechanically stable hydrides for the elastic constant (Cij). The MgGaH3, MgNbH3, MgZrH3, and MgWH3 hydrides are found to have an estimated gravimetric hydrogen (GH) storage capacity of 3.115, 2.515, 2.551, and 1.431 wt percent, correspondingly. Calculations are also made for thermodynamic parameters such as minimum thermal conductivity kmin (K), acoustic velocities (m/s), melting temperature (Tm), and Debye temperature. It appears from the electronic as well as thermodynamic characteristics that MgDH3 hydrides conduct both thermal and electrical energy. Calculated findings depict that MgDH3 perovskite hydride substances are potential candidates for future technological device applications.
