Mg-decorated CN monolayer with enhanced hydrogen storage by Ye, Yike, Wu, Qian, Wang, Chuan, Xu, Jason Zhichuan

“…Here, we perform density functional theory (DFT) calculations measuring the hydrogen storage properties of Mg-decorated CN monolayer. 8Mg@CN structure is confirmed based on energetic and geometric criteria and it can absorb up to 40 H2 molecules, achieving a high gravimetric density of 8.92 wt% over the US Department of Energy (DOE) target. The polarized H2 molecules are proven to be physiosorbed on Mg atoms to guarantee desorption. …”
