Abstract
Potassium-decorated graphenyldiene (K@GPD) is investigated as a promising two-dimensional material for reversible hydrogen storage using first-principles density functional theory calculations. Potassium atoms bind strongly to the GPD monolayer, and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations confirm the thermal stability of the functionalized system at 300 K. Hydrogen adsorption energies range from -0.11 to -0.14 eV per H, denoting reversible storage. At full coverage (18 H molecules), the system reaches a storage capacity of 8.82 wt%, exceeding the U.S. DOE target. AIMD simulations reveal spontaneous H desorption at ambient temperature, demonstrating excellent reversibility.
