摘要

The hydrogen storage properties of newly designed Sc- and Ti-decorated covalent organic frameworks, (C6H3)(2)(B2C4H4)(3)M-6 (M=Sc, Ti), were investigated using density functional theory method. We found that each doped Sc atom can effectively adsorb 4 H-2 with the average adsorption energy being in a range from 0.21 to 0.34 eV. On the doped Ti atoms, the first H-2 is dissociated and other H-2 molecules have small, or even negative consecutive adsorption energy. Our calculation results showed that the Sc-decorated (C6H3)(2)(B2C4H4)(3)Sc-6 covalent organic frameworks can adsorb 24 hydrogen molecules, which give a hydrogen storage capacity of 7.02 wt% under ambient condition.
