The microscopic mechanism of the H2 adsorption of two Mg-MOF-74 isoreticular frameworks, one with a benzenedicarboxylate linker and the other with a dihydroxyfumarate linker, were studied on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) method.

In this paper, first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) have been performed to investigate the adsorption of oxygen and hydrogen on [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] surfaces covered by monolayer (ML) of [Formula: see text]. The results have shown that the oxygen molecule tends to adsorb on fcc site on both surfaces at the coverage of 0.25 ML, which becomes degeneration with hcp site when the coverage increases to 1 ML. For both oxygen and hydrogen, the adsorption on [Formula: see text] surface are stronger than those on [Formula: see text] surface. The adsorption energy difference for oxygen on the two surfaces is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.2 eV at the coverage of 1 ML, which increases to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.6 eV with the coverage decreasing to 0.25 ML. The similar energy difference was also found for hydrogen adsorption. The density of states analysis have demonstrated the chemical interaction of adsorbed oxygen with both pure [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] surfaces with certain shift of [Formula: see text] states to lower level compared to isolated oxygen. For hydrogen adsorption, the hybridization of [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] states were observed for both surfaces, indicating the covalent bonding component of H–Pt bond.

Understanding of the physisorption of H2 in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is critical to improving its performance for hydrogen storage. By using first-principles calculations employing the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) method which can properly describe the vdW interaction, we investigate the binding energy of H2 in MOF-5 crystal. The accuracy of this methodology is first examined and good accuracy comparable to the correlated wavefunction methods is found. Calculations for the true crystal structure show that the small fragment models used in previous calculations cannot represent well the property of the crystal. The good accuracy and the ability to deal with the true crystal structure make the vdW-DF method a good candidate for investigating hydrogen storage in MOFs.

Utilizing first-principles density functional theory calculations, we identify that weak adhesion of metal clusters (for example Cu and Au) on pristine MOF-5, IRMOF-3, IRMOF-3-OH and IRMOF-3-SH, which reveals that metal clusters may be unable to stably exist in the pore of MOFs. Furthermore, upon removing the hydrogen of NH2, SH and OH functional groups, the adsorption energy between metal cluster and functionalized MOFs improve, which ascribes to chemical adsorption. Meanwhile, these metal clusters become cationic as a result of the formation of metal-O, S or N adhesion bonds. Hence, our study may provide a candidate approach to deposit metal clusters into the pore of MOFs.

The geometries, structural stability, electrical and magnetic characteristics of pure and multiple palladium (Pd)-adsorbed graphene, followed by hydrogen adsorption, are investigated using first-principles calculations with the density functional theory. In the DFT-D2 technique, first-principles computations with the van der Waals interaction are done using the generalized gradient approximation. In a [Formula: see text] supercell, the adsorption energy per Pd atom is found to be 1.20 eV in the optimal adsorption shape. The bandgap of 51 meV has opened in multiple Pd-decorated graphene, according to band calculations. This band’s opening is ascribed to a symmetry break. The binding energy for hydrogen adsorption in optimal double Pd-decorated graphene was determined to be in the range of (0.14–0.73) eV per hydrogen molecule, indicating that Pd-decorated graphene might be used as a hydrogen storage material.

Thin films of boron nitride (BN), particularly the sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridized polytypes hexagonal BN (h-BN) and rhombohedral BN (r-BN) are interesting for several electronic applications given band gaps in the UV. They are typically deposited close to thermal equilibrium by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at temperatures and pressures in the regions 1400-1800 K and 1000-10000 Pa, respectively. In this letter, we use van der Waals corrected density functional theory and thermodynamic stability calculations to determine the stability of r-BN and compare it to that of h-BN as well as to cubic BN and wurtzitic BN. We find that r-BN is the stable sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridized phase at CVD conditions, while h-BN is metastable. Thus, our calculations suggest that thin films of h-BN must be deposited far from thermal equilibrium.
