摘要: Mg(BH(4))(2) contains a large amount of hydrogen by weight and volume, but its promise as candidate for storage is dependent on the currently unknown thermodynamics H2 release. Using first-principles density-functional theory calculations newly developed prototype electrostatic ground state search strategy, we predict new T=0 K with I4[over ]m2 symmetry, which 5 kJ/mol lower in energy than recently proposed P6(1) structure. The calculated H(2) release are within range required reversible storage.
