MgO是具有强极性的离子化合物, 电场诱导MgO吸附H 2是一种有效的储氢方法, 但外加的电场很强, 如何降低所需电场的强度是需要解决的关键问题. 本文在密度泛函理论水平上研究了电场中H 2在(MgO) 4团簇上的吸附性质. 结果表明(MgO) 4能承受强电场并保持立方结构, 可用于电场储氢. 电荷分析表明(MgO) 4在电场中被极化, 其偶极矩增大为场强0.005 a.u. 和0.010 a.u.时的1.67和3.33 Debye. H 2能稳定吸附在单个Mg/O原子上. H 2在Mg上为侧位吸附, 而在O上为端位吸附. 外加电场可提高其吸附强度. 仅需0.010 a. u.的外电场, 就可使H 2在Mg/O上的吸附能由无电场时–0.118/–0.060 eV提高到–0.225/–0.150 eV. 所需电场强度小于较大尺寸的 (MgO) 9团簇, 表明降低团簇尺寸是减少所需电场强度的一种可能方式. 利用QTAIM方法研究了H 2与(MgO) 4间的弱相互作用, 表明电场使团簇及氢分子极化, 从而增强了其间的静电作用. 当团簇尺寸降低时, 更多的原子位于表面, 且具有较低的配位数, 更容易被极化, 因此储氢所需的电场强度更低. 电场中(MgO) 4中最多能吸附16个H 2, 相应的质量密度为16.7 wt%, 表明(MgO) 4是一种可能的电场储氢材料.MgO is a typical ionic compound with strong polarity. Hydrogen absorbed by MgO materials subjected to an external electric field is a potential method to store hydrogen. However, the method requires an extremely high intensity of electric field, which is difficult to achieve. Therefore, reducing field intensity has become a key problem in the field of hydrogen storage. In this paper, the hydrogen storage properties of an (MgO) 4cluster under an external electric field are investigated. The results show that under the external electric field, (MgO) 4keeps the frame of cube structure but with little distortion, which implies that (MgO) 4cluster can sustain the strong electric field. The (MgO) 4is also polarized by the external electric field and its dipole momentum increases to 1.67 and 3.33 Debye when the field intensity is 0.005 and 0.010 a.u., respectively. H 2can be adsorbed on a single Mg/O atom: H 2is adsorbed at lateral position of Mg atom, while at the top of O atom. The adsorption strength is substantially enhanced under an external electric field. Under only 0.010 a. u. of electric field, the adsorption energy of H 2on the Mg or O atoms increases from –0.118 eV to –0.225 eV or from –0.060 eV to –0.150 eV, respectively. The electric field required is significantly lower than that of a large (MgO) 9cluster. This result suggests that reducing the size of material is a possible method toreduce the electric field for hydrogen storage in polarizable materials. The weak interaction between H 2and (MgO) 4is analyzed by the quantum theory of atoms in molecules. The results indicate that under an electric field, (MgO) 4and H 2are effectively polarized, and the electrostatic interaction between them is subsequently enhanced. Meanwhile, the small cluster is easily polarized because most of the atoms are in the surface and have low coordination. Therefore, the electric field required can be substantially reduced. Moreover, (MgO) 4adsorbs 16 H 2molecules at most. The corresponding mass density of hydrogen storage reaches 16.7 wt%, indicating that (MgO) 4can be used as a hydrogen storage material under an electric field.
