Boron-chain alloys to carry hydrogen? — •Aleksey Kolmogorov, Ralf Drautz, and David Pettifor — Department of Materials, University of Oxford, Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PH, United Kingdom
We use ab initio calculations to explore the hydrogen storage potential of boron-chain Li-B alloys. Analysis of the available experimental data on the boron-chain LixB1−x compound (x ≈ 0.53) and a high-throughput search for its most stable hydrogenated derivatives have allowed us to identify two possible LiBH (5.4 wt. % H) and LiBH2 (10.2 wt. % H) phases. We suggest a synthesis route to obtain the new hydrides and discuss the possibility of adjusting the heats of reactions for hydrogen storage applications.
