First-principles study on the dehydrogenation characteristics of LiBH4 modified by Ti

The dehydrogenation characteristics of LiBH4 modified by Ti are investigated by first-principles calculations. Ti doping is shown to kinetically favor H-desorption, by reducing the energy cost that H atom needs to release from the bulk. This improvement in H-desorption may be ascribed to the weaker...
