采用密度泛函理论方法研究了Na原子修饰的Bn (n = 3—10)团簇的储氢性能. 结果表明, 两个Na原子能够与Bn团簇稳定地结合形成BnNa2 (n = 3—10)复合体. Na原子修饰的Bn团簇最多可以吸附10个氢分子, 平均吸附能处在0.063—0.095 eV/H2范围内, 最大储氢密度介于11.57%—20.45% (质量分数)之间. 分子动力学模拟表明, 温度越高, 氢分子的脱附速率越大, 脱附量也越大, 在常温条件下, BnNa2 (n = 3—8)团簇能够在短时间内(短于262 fs)实现完全脱氢, 因此, Na原子修饰的Bn团簇是一类极具潜力的储氢材料.Hydrogen is widely regarded as an ideal alternative energy source because of its high efficiency, abundance, pollution-free and renewable properties. One of the main challenges is to find efficient materials that can store hydrogen safely with fast kinetics, favorable thermodynamics, and high hydrogen density under ambient conditions. The nanomaterial is one of the most promising hydrogen storage materials because of its high surface-to-volume rate, unique electronic structure and novel chemical and physical properties. In this study, the hydrogen storage properties of Na-decorated Bn (n = 3–10) clusters are investigated using dispersion-corrected density functional theory and atomic density matrix propagation (ADMP) simulations. The results show that Na atoms can stably bind to Bn clusters, forming BnNa2 complexes. The average binding energies (1.876–2.967 eV) of Na atoms on the host clusters are significantly higher than the cohesive energy of bulk Na (1.113 eV), which effectively prevents Na atoms from gathering on the cluster surface. Furthermore, when Na atoms bind to Bn (n = 3–10) clusters, electrons transfer from Na to B atoms, resulting in positively charged Na atoms. Hydrogen molecules are moderately polarized under the electric field and adsorbed around Na atoms through electrostatic interactions. The H–H bonds are slightly stretched but not broken. The Na-decorated Bn clusters can adsorb up to 10 hydrogen molecules with average adsorption energies of 0.063–0.095 eV/H2 and maximum hydrogen storage densities reaching 11.57%–20.45%. Almost no structural change is observed in the host clusters after adsorbing hydrogen. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the desorption rate of hydrogen molecules increases with temperature rising. At ambient temperature (300 K), BnNa2 (n = 3–8) clusters achieve complete dehydrogenation within 262 fs, while B9Na2 and B10Na2 clusters exhibit a dehydrogenation rate of 90% within 1000 fs. The Na-decorated Bn (n = 3–10) clusters not only exhibit excellent properties for hydrogen storage but also enable efficient dehydrogenation at ambient temperature. Thus, BnNa2 (n = 3–10) clusters can be regarded as highly promising candidates for hydrogen storage.
