Abstract
The adsorption mechanism of a hydrogen molecule on a 2D buckled Antimonene (Sb) monolayer decorated with four Mg atoms was studied using first-principles density functional theory calculations. The four Mg atoms are equally dispersed and fairly ornamented on the surface of the Sb monolayer, with a trend of rising binding energies of 0.12 eV, 0.32 eV, 0.63 eV, and 1.03 eV, respectively. This binding energy is equivalent to 2.1 eV overall. The adsorption energies (hydrogen storage capacity) were increased by increasing the hydrogen molecules up to 20 and remained in the optimal range of 2.7 eV to −6.4 eV (0.68 wt % to 8.4 wt %) on the 4 Mg decorated Sb. The thermodynamics stabilities were confirmed at different high temperatures 400 K–600 K. Different properties were calculated and discussed in detail to ensure the Mg decorated Sb is an efficient hydrogen storage material.
