The Lithium-Boron Reactive Hydride Composite System (Li-RHC) (2 LiH + MgB$_{2}$ / 2 LiBH$_{4}$ + MgH$_{2}$) is a high-temperature hydrogen storage material suitable for energy storage applications. Herein, a comprehensive gas-solid kinetic…
We propose a set of thermodynamic guidelines aimed at facilitating more robust screening of hydrogen storage reactions. The utility of the guidelines is illustrated by reassessing the validity of reactions recently proposed in the…
A hexagonal oxynitride (Li0.88_0.12)Nb3.0(O0.13N0.87)4 was synthesized through ammonia nitridation of LiNb3O8. The structural analysis revealed that this oxynitride consists of alternate stacking of octahedral and prismatic layers with…
LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, which has a spinel framework structure, is a promising candidate for the cathode material of next-generation lithium-ion batteries with high energy density. We investigate the structural transition in LixNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (0 <= x…
We report the results of the first-principles calculation on the intermediate compounds of LiBH$_4$. The stability of LiB$_3$H$_8$ and Li$_2$B$_n$H$_n (n=5-12)$ has been examined with the ultrasoft pseudopotential method based on the…
The study of superconductivity in compressed hydrides is of great interest due to measurements of high critical temperatures (Tc) in the vicinity of room temperature, beginning with the observations of LaH10 at 170-190 GPa. However, the…
The properties of the mixed system LiBH4 LiCl P2S5 are studied with respect to all-solid-state batteries. The studied material undergoes an amorphization upon heating above 601C, accompanied with increased Li+ conductivity beneficial for…
The thermodynamical stability of ${\rm Al(BH_4)_3}$ has been investigated using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The heats of formation are obtained to be -132 and $-131 {\rm kJ/mol}$ without the zero-point…
Alanates and boranates are studied intensively because of their potential use as hydrogen storage materials. In this paper we present a first-principles study of the electronic structure and the energetics of beryllium boranate, Be(BH4)2.…
High-temperature superconductivity has been observed in binary hydrides such as LaH10 at pressures above 150 GPa. Hydrogen cage structures have been identified as a common motif beneficial for high critical temperatures Tc. Efforts are now…
Because substitutions of BH4- anion with Br can stabilize the hexagonal structure of the LiBH4 at room temperature, leading to a high Li-ion conductivity, its thermodynamic stability has been investigated in this work. The binary LiBH4-LiBr…
The discovery of high-temperature conventional superconductivity in H3S with a critical temperature of Tc=203 K was followed by the recent record of Tc ~250 K in the face-centered cubic (fcc) lanthanum hydride LaH10 compound. It was…
The thermodynamics of several reactions involving atomic and molecular hydrogen with group-III acceptors is investigated. The results provide a first-principles-level account of thermally- and carrier-activated processes involving these…
In this work, TiFe-based alloys have been developed according to the stoichiometry Ti1-xAxFe1-yBy (A \equiv Zr; B \equiv Mn, V). The hydrogen solubility properties have been investigated to develop dynamic hydrides of Ti-based alloys for…
We characterize a novel orthorhombic phase (gamma) of NaAlH4, discovered using first-principles molecular dynamics, and discuss its relevance to the dehydrogenation mechanism. This phase is close in energy to the known low-temperature…
The lanthanum-hydrogen system has attracted significant attention following the report of superconductivity in LaH10 at near-ambient temperatures and high pressures. Here, we present the results of our single-crystal X-ray diffraction…
We report the synthesis and characterization of (La0.9Y0.1)H10 superhydrides exhibiting coexisting cubic Fm-3m and hexagonal P63/mmc clathrate phases observed over the pressure range from 168 GPa down to 136 GPa. Using synchrotron-based…
We present results predicting experimentally measurable structural quantities from molecular dynamics studies of hydrogen. In doing this, we propose a paradigm shift for experimentalists -- that the predictions from such calculations should…
Based on evolutionary crystal structure searches in combination with ab initio calculations, we predict an unusual structural phase of the superconducting LaH$_{10}$ that is stable from about 250 GPa to 425 GPa pressure. This new phase…
