Hydrogen storage in Zr0.9Ti0.1(Ni0.5Cr0.5-xVx)2 Laves phase, with x = 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.375, 0.5. A theoretical approach

Density functional calculations were performed on Zr0.9Ti0.1(Ni0.5Cr0.5-xVx)2 Laves Phase, with x = 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.375 and 0.5, in order to study its H absorption capacity. Binding energy, electronic structure and bonding were analyzed for the intermetallic compound with different V content and increasing amounts of hydrogen.
