MgH2 is one of the most promising materials for solid-state hydrogen storage, but its slow kinetics and relatively high dehydrogenation temperature have yet to be overcome. We have theoretically investigated surface energy and surface H vacancy formation on various MgH2 surfaces, including all possible H vacancy configurations in the studied size of MgH2(110), (100), (101), and (001), up to (3 × 2), (2 × 3), (2 × 2) and (2 × 2) slabs respectively, based on density functional theory. Consequently, the hydrogen diffusion paths on the surfaces are also studied. The most unstable surface, MgH2(001), has the most drastic change in vacancy formation energy. The relative high barriers for vacancy H formation, especially on the most stable surface, MgH2(110), reflect the slow kinetics of H release. The introduction of vacancy into MgH2 surfaces often induces defect levels in the energy-gap region. In general, the release of surface H atoms exhibits a pronounced dependence on the surface stability and the concentration of surface H vacancy, in line with the remarkable effect of ball milling in experiments.

表面取向对MgH 2氢空位形成的影响的理论研究

MgH 2是用于固态氢存储的最有前途的材料之一,但其缓慢的动力学和相对较高的脱氢温度仍有待克服。我们已经从理论上研究的表面能和表面H,空位形成各种的MgH 2层的表面,包括所有可能的在的MgH的所研究的口径H空位配置2(110),(100),(101)和(001),直到(基于密度泛函理论,分别为3×2),(2×3),(2×2)和(2×2)平板。因此,还研究了表面上的氢扩散路径。最不稳定的表面,MgH 2(001),空缺形成能量变化最大。空位H形成的相对较高的壁垒,特别是在最稳定的表面MgH 2(110)上,反映了H释放的缓慢动力学。将空位引入MgH 2表面通常会在能隙区域中引起缺陷水平。通常,表面H原子的释放表现出对表面稳定性和表面H空位浓度的显着依赖性,这与球磨在实验中的显着效果一致。
