Abstract

The atomic hydrogen sorption in the H-terminated zigzag edge of bilayer graphene has been studied theoretically using density-functional-theory calculations. The derived potential energy surfaces have revealed non-activated reaction paths for H sorption for both frozen and relaxed BLG substrate, suggesting possible utilization of the ZZ edge as sorption gateway for hydrogen storage applications. Further analysis suggested that the substrate reconstruction during the sorption process effectively enhances the adsorption energy by about 160%. For both frozen and relaxed substrate, strong H traps near the edge-terminating H atoms were likewise observed.
