摘要: 采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理赝势平面波方法计算了不同Ti 含量的MgxTi(1-x)H2 (x=0.25, 0.5,0.75, 0.875)体系的平衡晶格结构、总能量及稳定性. 结果表明: 氢原子在晶胞中的位置接近于四面体间隙位置; H―Ti 原子间距小于H―Mg原子间距, 表明Ti 较Mg具有更强的“亲氢性”, Ti 原子在吸引周围H原子的同时削弱了H―Mg键的强度; 随Ti 含量的增加, 体系的稳定性和脱氢温度均降低, 且MgxTi(1-x)H2体系与MgH2相比,稳定性更差, 脱氢温度更低, 表明Ti 可降低MgxTi(1-x)H2体系的分解温度并加速其脱氢动力学过程, 表现出脱氢催化活性.

Abstract: First-principles calculations were performed to determine the equilibrium crystal structures, energetic properties, and stability of MgxTi(1-x)H2 (x=0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 0.875) systems containing different amounts of titanium using the pseudopotential plane-wave method based on density functional theory. The calculation results show that the hydrogen atoms in the MgxTi(1-x)H2 hydrides roughly occupy the tetrahedral interstitial sites. The calculated H―Ti distances are less than the H―Mg distances. This indicates that Ti has a more notable affinity for hydrogen than Mg. The bonding strength of H―Mg is weaker when the Ti atom attracts surrounding hydrogen atoms. The stabilization and dehydrogenation temperatures of the hydrides MgxTi(1-x)H2 are lower than those of MgH2 with an increasing Ti content. This indicates that titanium can reduce the decomposition temperature of the MgxTi(1-x)H2 hydrides and play a significant catalytic role in improving the dehydrogenation dynamic properties of the MgxTi(1-x)H2 hydrides.
