H2
Hydrogen storage: a brief history
Hydrogen Facts:
• Hydrogen is an odorless and colorless gas.• BP of -252.77o C. • Density of 0.0899 grams/liter.• The most abundant element on earth but less than 1% is in the form of H2
• Ways to produce H2: electrolysis, thermal dissociation of H2O, or photochemical splitting of H2O
• A clean synthetic fuel• H2O vapour as the only exhaust gas
• Energy density by weight• Chemical energy per mass of Hydrogen (142 MJ/kg)
vs. that of other chemical fuels (liquid hydrocarbons ~ 47 MJ/kg)• 1 Kg of hydrogen contains the same amount of energy as 2.1 Kg of natural gas or 2.8 Kg of gasoline.

• Pressurized gas - Must be intensely pressurized to several hundred atmospheres (200 bar or more)
-Stored in pressure vessel
• Condensed liquid state- Liquifying H2 requires substantial energy
- Boil-off is an issue for non-pressurized insulated tanks
- Insulation is bulky
• Solid or liquid state as chemical hydrogen-rich compunds - methanol, methane, carbon
- metal hydrides

Mg hydrides• light weight• low manufacture cost• high hydrogen-storage capacity• reversible reaction
Limitations• High dehydriding temperature• Slow adsorption kinetics• Surface oxidation of magnesium• Stability of the MgH2.
Possible solutions• Milling• Catalyst• Alloying with other metals

1. To get a smooth transition from nonbonded to single, double and triple bonded systems ReaxFF employs a bond length/bond order relationship. Bond orders are updated every iteration.
2. Nonbonded interactions (van der Waals, Coulomb) are calculated between every atom pair, irrespective of connectivity. Excessive close-range nonbonded interactions are avoided by shielding.
3. All connectivity-dependent interactions (i.e. valence and torsion angles) are made bond-order dependent, ensuring that their energy contributions disappear upon bond dissociation.
4. ReaxFF uses a geometry-dependent charge calculation scheme that accounts for polarization effects.
Key Features
Free Powerpoint template from www.brainybetty.com
11
1. MD-force field; no discontinuities in energy or forces even during reactions.
2. User should not have to pre-define reactive sites or reaction pathways; potential functions should be able to automatically handle coordination changes associated with reactions.
3. Each element is represented by only 1 atom type in the force field; force field should be able to determine equilibrium bond lengths, valence angles etc. from chemical environment.
General Rules

Strategy for parameterizing ReaxFF
Step 1 -Identify interactions to be optimized -Identify relevant systems
Step 2 -Build QC-trainset for bond breaking and angle bending cases for all relevant small cluster
Cluster (DFT B3LYP 6-31G**++)
-Perform QC simulations on condensed phases to obtain EOSPeriodic system (CASTEP GGA-PBE 4x4x2 k-space KE cutoff 380eV)
Step 3 -FFopt and ReaxFF fittings
Step 4 -Applications
