Abstract:
Characterization has been performed on basis of several physicochemical parameters. The results indicate that the preferential adsorption is on Ti atom deposited on the top site of the (5,5) armchair SWCNT with energies (-0.44 and -0.71) eV for H-2 oriented parallel to the (x) and (y) axes respectively. The binding of H-2 is mostly dominated by the support-metal E(i)(s...Ti) term. The role of the SWCNT is not restricted to support the metal. Significant reduction of the energy gap is observed when H-2 are anchored on the external surface of the SWCNT. The SWCNT...Ti...H-2(x) complex is the least reactive configuration with nucleophiles. The calculated parameters characterize H-2 that is oriented parallel to the (x)-{[}100] axis of the SWCNT to be the most suitable configuration for hydrogen storage based on the recommended adsorption energy range of DOE (-0.2 to -0.6) eV.
