The hydrogen storage properties of pristine (12)-borophene and Li-decorated (12)-borophene are systemically investigated by means of first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The adsorption sites, adsorption energies, electronic structures, and hydrogen storage performance of pristine (12)-borophene/H-2 and Li-(12)-borophene/H-2 systems are discussed in detail. The results show that H-2 is dissociated into Two H atoms that are then chemisorbed on (12)-borophene via strong covalent bonds. Then, we use Li atom to improve the hydrogen storage performance and modify the hydrogen storage capacity of (12)-borophene. Our numerical calculation shows that Li-(12)-borophene system can adsorb up to 7 H-2 molecules; while 2Li-(12)-borophene system can adsorb up to 14 H-2 molecules and the hydrogen storage capacity up to 10.85 wt %.
