In this work we focused our attention on the lithium amide/imide, LiNH2/Li2NH, a very important system for hydrogen storage. By means of ab initio simulations we have resolved the structure of the two crystalline phases of Li2NH stable below and above 356 K and provide a comprehensive description of the elementary steps in the dehydrogenation and rehydrogenation processes. We performed molecular dynamics simulations based on density-functional theory and optimizations of the reaction pathways of elementary steps to provide estimates of reaction rates within the harmonic transition state theory.

Abstract

In this work we focused our attention on the lithium amide/imide, LiNH2/Li2NH, a very important system for hydrogen storage. By means of ab initio simulations we have resolved the structure of the two crystalline phases of Li2NH stable below and above 356 K and provide a comprehensive description of the elementary steps in the dehydrogenation and rehydrogenation processes. We performed molecular dynamics simulations based on density-functional theory and optimizations of the reaction pathways of elementary steps to provide estimates of reaction rates within the harmonic transition state theory.
