Ab Initio Simulations of Laves-phase high-entropy alloys for hydrogen storage — •Yuji Ikeda1, Kaveh Edalati2, and Blazej Grabowski1 — 1University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany — 2Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan
High-entropy alloys (HEAs), particularly those in the Laves phases, are promising candidates for hydrogen-storage alloys. Recent experiments have indeed revealed that the equiatomic TiZrCrMnFeNi Laves-phase HEA can work as a hydrogen-storage alloy at room temperature (i.e., without heating) under nearly atmospheric pressure [1,2]. Tuning the compositions of such Laves-phase HEAs should be possible to design hydrogen-storage alloys with more desirable properties. We have demonstrated that ab initio H adsorption energies in TixZr2−xCrMnFeNi become more negative (thus energetically more favorable) on average with increasing the Ti content, consistent with experiments [3]. We will also show how the H adsorption energy depends on the local chemical environment in the Laves-phase HEAs.
