Abstract
Taking into account the van der Waals correction, the characteristics of the Li-decorated graphyne as the hydrogen storage medium have been explored using first-principles plane wave calculations. We find that Li atom can be adsorbed not only over the center of large hexagon (HL site) but also over the center of small hexagon (HS site). For double-side Li decorations, there are 14H2 molecules can be adsorbed on Li-decorated graphyne primitive cell with the adsorption energy of 0.19 eV/H2. As a result, the hydrogen storage capacity of 13.0 wt% can be obtained. This suggests that the Li-decorated graphyne system can serve as a high-capacity hydrogen storage medium.
