In this study, potential hydrogen storage materials based on bis-BN cyclohexane with improved dehydrogenation efficiency and reversibility were identified using density functional theory calculations. It was found that F-bis-BN cyclohexane, with F substitution, exhibits enhanced reversible dehydrogenation-hydrogenation cycles in the presence of a Pt catalyst, making it a promising alternative hydrogen carrier.
Liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology, in which hydrogen is captured in a liquid-phase compound, is a key enabler in realizing hydrogen economy. Among the LOHC materials, bis-BN cyclohexane is thermodynamically stable at 150 degrees C and does not release detectable volatile contaminants during catalytic dehydrogenation at room temperature. In this study, we identified other potential bis-BN cyclohexane-based hydrogen storage materials with improved dehydrogenation efficiency and reversibility using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The dehydrogenation mechanisms of bis-BN cyclohexane with and without functional group (F, Cl, NH2, CH3, and CN) substitutions were investigated by calculating the reaction enthalpies and free energies. With the Pt catalyst surface, F-bis-BN cyclohexane has slightly lower dehydrogenation reaction efficiency than the existing bisBN cyclohexane; however, it was found that the efficiency of the reverse reaction of hydrogenation is significantly improved owing to the F substitution in bis-BN cyclohexane.Therefore, F-bis-BN cyclohexane can exhibit enhanced reversible dehydrogenation -hydrogenation cycles in the presence of a Pt catalyst and is expected to be suitable as an alternative hydrogen carrier.
