Abstract [en]

Refractory high-entropy alloys (HEAs) show promise for novel hydrogen storage technology, but addressing their limited gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity necessitates exploration of light alloying elements including Mg and Al. Here, we employ density-functional theory to investigate the hydrogen desorption energetics of Ti0.325V0.275Zr0.125Nb0.275 alloy and the impact of doping with Mg and Al. Our analysis reveals that Mg and Al addition thermodynamically destabilize the Ti0.325V0.275Zr0.125Nb0.275-hydride and lower its storage capacity. The observed destabilization is attributed to reduced chemical contributions to the desorption enthalpy in the Mg and Al-doped hydrides. Detailed examination of the electronic density of states, electron localization function, and crystal orbital Hamilton population analysis unveils fundamental features of chemical bonding in these hydrides. Notably, H-H antibonding states occur for hydrogen atoms located in the nearest-neighbor interstices of Mg and Al atoms. Charge transfer facilitates formation of these antibonding states. This comprehensive analysis enhances our understanding of the intricate interplay between electronic structure, hydrogen desorption energetics, and chemical bonding in HEA hydrides, offering valuable insights for the design and optimization of advanced hydrogen storage materials.
