Abstract
Hydrogen has emerged as an ideal energy source for addressing energy shortages and environmental pollution, owing to its abundant reserves, non - toxicity, and pollution - free nature. While hydrogen production is relatively straightforward, its storage remains a significant challenge. Thus, safe and efficient hydrogen storage is of utmost importance. Compared with other hydrogen storage methods, graphyne is a highly promising and safe hydrogen storage material. In this study, first - principles calculations based on density functional theory were employed to investigate the hydrogen storage performance of Ca - atom - modified graphyne and determine the optimal adsorption site of Ca atoms on graphyne through metal modification. The objective was to maximize the hydrogen storage capacity of Ca - modified graphyne. The key findings are as follows: The optimal adsorption site for a single Ca atom on graphyne is the T1 site. For two Ca atoms, the most favorable adsorption mode is at two T1 sites on the same side of graphyne. The 4Ca - GY system can stably adsorb up to 20 hydrogen molecules. The average adsorption energy of each hydrogen molecule is −0.133 eV, and the hydrogen storage mass ratio reaches 8.20 wt%, which far exceeds the 6.5 wt% specified by the DOE. Therefore, it can be regarded as an ideal hydrogen storage material.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
