摘要
In this study, we use the Siesta ab initio code based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) to determine the feasibility of hydrogen storage on the alpha-graphyne. We examined the effect of hydrogen adsorption on the structural properties, the density of states of this nano structure. Calculations were performed in the GGA and LDA approximations. We find that in the case of chemical adsorption of hydrogen, functional exchange-correlation PBE (GGA) in explaining chemical bonds have more accuracy and leads to more stable structures. Adsorption is chemical and the binding energy of single and double hydrogen adsorption is -2.28 eV and -3.48 eV, respectively. Our calculations show that the adsorption of one hydrogen atom induces a magnetic moment as I mu B, because of breaking of pi-bonds and generate unpaired electron and system find ferromagnetic configuration. Further analysis indicates that adsorption of second hydrogen eliminates magnetization and the semi metalic alpha-graphyne structure attains a band gap of 2 eV upon hydrogenation.
