Hydrogen adsorption by the metal organic framework (MOF) structure Zn2(BDC)2(TED) is investigated using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. By use of the nonempirical van der Waals density-functional (vdW-DF) approach, it…
The absorption sites and the low-lying rotational and vibrational (RV) energy states for H$_2$ adsorbed within a metal-organic framework are calculated via van der Waals density functional theory. The induced dipole due to bond stretching…
The importance of co-adsorption for applications of porous materials in gas separation has motivated fundamental studies, which have initially focused on the comparison of the binding energies of different gas molecules in the pores (i.e.…
The structural, vibrational, energetic and electronic properties of hydrogen at the stoichiometric RuO2(110) termination are studied using density functional theory. The oxide surface is found to stabilize both molecular and dissociated H2.…
A theoretical study on the rotational dynamics of H2 molecules trapped in the interstitial channels (ICs) of a carbon nanotube bundle is presented. The potential used in this study is modeled as a sum of atom-atom (C-H) van der Waals…
Hydrogen is a promising element for applications in new energy sources like fuel cells. One key issue for such applications is storing hydrogen. And, to improve storage capacity, understanding the interaction mechanism between hydrogen and…
The absorption energy of atomic hydrogen at rotated graphene bilayers is studied using ab initio methods based on the density functional theory including van der Waals interactions. We find that, due to the surface corrugation induced by…
Hydrogen is one of the few molecules which has been incarcerated in the molecular cage of C$_{60}$ and forms endohedral supramolecular complex H$_2$@C$_{60}$. In this confinement hydrogen acquires new properties. Its translational motion…
Using first-principles calculations, we systematically study the adsorption behavior of a single molecular H$_{2}$O on the Be(0001) surface. We find that the favored molecular adsorption site is the top site with an adsorption energy of…
Physisorption of hydrogen molecules in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provides a promising way for hydrogen storage, in which the van der Waals (vdW) interaction plays an important role but cannot described by the density functional theory…
The interaction of hydrogen with many transition metal surfaces is characterized by a coexistence of activated with non-activated paths to adsorption with a broad distribution of barrier heights. By performing six-dimensional quantum…
During many of its applications (especially as a catalyst support material), MoO3 acts as a medium for hydrogen storage via hydrogen spillover (H atom donation from proton and electron sources to a support), for which the energetics of H…
We combine infrared spectroscopy, nano-indentation measurements, and \emph{ab initio} simulations to study the evolution of structural, elastic, thermal, and electronic responses of the metal organic framework MOF-74-Zn when loaded with…
The hydrogen adsorption sites in MOF5 were determined using neutron powder diffraction along with first-principles calculations. The metal-oxide cluster is primarily responsible for the adsorption while the organic linker plays only a…

While the small sticking coefficient for molecular hydrogen on the Si(001) surface apparently requires a large energy barrier of adsorption, no such barrier is observed in desorption experiments. We have calculated the potential-energy…
Molecular dynamics simulations combined with periodic electronic structure calculations are performed to decipher structural, thermodynamical and dynamical properties of the interfaced vs. confined water adsorbed in hexagonal 1D channels of…
