Abstract

Hydrogen storage in metallic nanoparticles was investigated by classical molecular dynamics and parameter physics. We observed phenomenological variation due to the differences in potential parameters of metal-hydrogen pair and crystal lattices. Three patterns of hydrogen distribution in both b.c.c. and f.c.c. nanoparticles were observed: non-absorbing, homogeneously-absorbing and heterogeneously-absorbing. In the last case, hydrogen atoms distribute just beneath the particle surface to form a hydrogen-rich layer. This layer prevents the diffusive motions of hydrogen atoms into the nanoparticle. We also carried out long simulation runs up to 1 nm to observed the structural variation of nanoparticles due to hydrogenation. Generation of grain boundaries was observed in b.c.c nanoparticles with the condition of strong metal–hydrogen interaction. Most of the grain boundaries were symmetric-tilt type and migrated inside the particle to reduce the interface energies. Formation of grain boundary was not observed in f.c.c. nanoparticles.
