Abstract

In this paper, we have studied the structural, elastic, electronic and thermodynamic properties of ACrH3 (A = Ca, Sr) for hydrogen storage applications using DFT calculations. The calculated lattice constants are 3.674 Å CaCrH3 and 3.867 Å for SrCrH3. The thermodynamic and dynamic stabilities for the studied compounds are confirmed by the negative formation energy and phonon spectra calculations. The elastic properties results show good mechanical stability. The hydrogen storage capacity \({{C}_{{\text{w}}}}{\kern 1pt} \%\) is found 3.1 and 2.1% for CaCrH3 and SrCrH3, respectively. Due to the higher \({{C}_{{\text{w}}}}\%\) , CaCrH3 is suggested as the favorable material to store hydrogen. The electronic band structure and density of states (DOS) demonstrate the metallic behavior for these compounds. The calculated Pugh’s and Poisson’s ratios indicate the brittleness of CaCrH3 and the ductility of SrCrH3. The specific heat capacities \({{C}_{{\text{v}}}}\) , thermal expansion coefficients α and Debye temperature θ were also investigated and discussed in detail. The obtained values of \({{\theta }}\) were found to be 607.78 and 241.61 K for CaCrH3 and SrCrH3, respectively.
