Abstract

The structural, electronic and thermodynamics stability properties of the new hydrogen storage materials Mg12Ni6-xCrx(x=0,1) are analyzed based on the density functional theory (DFT). The enthalpy of hydride formation of Mg-Ni alloys is -65.07kJ/mol (H2). For a small range of Cr doping, the enthalpy of hydride formation of the Mg-Ni-Cr system is -54.99 kJ/mol(H2), widely accepted as considerable value for applications. The thermodynamics properties of Mg12Ni6-xCrx(x=0,1)H2(x=0,1) are expected to be improved by addition of Cr elements. This study is very important for the actual application.
