- A significant improvement in molecular hydrogen uptake properties is revealed by our ab initio calculations for Li-decorated metal-organic framework 5. We have found that two Li atoms are strongly adsorbed on the surfaces of the six-carbon rings, one on each side, carrying a charge of +0.9e per Li atom. Each Li can cluster three H-2 molecules around itself with a binding energy of 12 kJ (mol H-2)(-1). Furthermore, we show from ab initio molecular dynamics simulations with a hydrogen loading of 18 H2 per formula unit that a hydrogen uptake of 2.9 wt % at 200 K and 2.0 wt % at 300 K is achievable. To our knowledge, this is the highest hydrogen storage capacity reported for metal-organic framework 5 under such thermodynamic conditions.

- We have used the ab initio random structure searching method together with density functional theory calculations to find stable structures of strontium under pressures up to 50 GPa. We predict a sequence of structural phase transitions and the stability of an orthorhombic structure of Cmcm symmetry above 25 GPa. Our energy, lattice dynamics, and molecular dynamics calculations confirm the stability of the Cmcm structure. The electron-phonon coupling calculations show that superconductivity arises in the bcc structure of compressed Sr and that it continues to exist in the Cmcm structure. The calculated superconducting transition temperatures are in good agreement with experiment. Our study gives an excellent account of the experimental observations.

- Hydrogen binding energies for the primary and secondary adsorption sites in the Cd- and Zn-based metal organic framework-5 (MOF-5) were studied using density functional theory. Out of the three exchange-correlation functionals employed in our study, we find that the local density approximation yields a qualitatively correct description of the interaction strengths of H-2 in MOF-5 systems. The H-2 adsorption energies for all trapping sites in Zn- and Cd-based MOF-5 are seen to be of the same order of magnitude but with a generally stronger binding in Cd- based MOF-5 as compared to Zn- based MOF-5. In particular, the H-2 binding energy at the secondary adsorption sites in Cd- based MOF-5 is increased by around 25% compared to Zn-based MOF-5. This result suggests that Cd- based MOF-5 would be better suited to store hydrogen at higher temperatures than Zn-based MOF-5.

- The adsorption energies of hydrogen molecules at all possible adsorption sites of covalent organic framework-1 (COF-1) are studied by density functional theory (DFT) and second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2). The most favorable adsorption sites from our DFT results are on the top of an oxygen atom for the B3O3 ring and on the top of the center of the C-C bond for the benzene ring when a single H-2 is interacting with the COF-1. The adsorption energy trend obtained from the DFT calculations is found to be in good agreement with the MP2 binding energy trend. The binding preferences are slightly changed when high hydrogen loading is considered. H-2 molecules prefer to be trapped on the top of the carbon atoms of the benzene ring and also on the top of the oxygen atoms of the B3O3 ring. These findings are confirmed by hydrogen center-of-mass distribution results obtained using molecular dynamics simulations. Moreover, our DFT results reveal that the hydrogen adsorption energies are boosted when we increase the number of hydrogen loadings due to attractive H-2-H-2 interactions. In addition, the nonavailability of the remaining adsorption sites in the COF-1 leads to a reduction of the H-2 mobility.

- We provided the first theoretical evidence for a medium-range ordered phase in high pressure strontium from the first-principles calculations. At the absolute zero temperature, the enthalpy-pressure relation shows that the bcc and hcp are energetically more favorable than the other experimentally observed phases between 24 and 27 GPa. In the present work, we concentrate on the bcc phase because we found a link to a medium-range ordered phase. Our results reveal that the bcc phonon dispersion at the N and H points starts softening at around 24.1 GPa. The ab initio molecular dynamics at 300 K and 27 GPa showed that the bcc is quickly transformed into a lower energy structure with R3c symmetry and distorted basis. The simulated diffraction patterns showed that the R3c structure has only a single major peak at low angle. The R3c peak locates near the first peak of the bcc structure. This is the evidence of the so-called medium-range ordered phase. This structure is a strong candidate for the unsolved S-phase reported by experiments. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
