Titanium-Decorated Carbon Nanotubes as a Potential High-Capacity Hydrogen Storage Medium

We report a first-principles study, which demonstrates that a single Ti atom coated on a single-walled nanotube (SWNT) binds up to four hydrogen molecules. The first H2 adsorption is dissociative with no energy barrier while the other three adsorptions are molecular with significantly elongated H-H ... View More
