Extensive Multiscale Investigations of Li/Na-Functionalized Three-Dimensional Borophosphene for Enhanced Hydrogen Storage
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Three-dimensional porous borophosphene (3D-B 2 P 2 ) has emerged as a promising material for battery applications. Beyond this, its inherently porous crystal structure, along with excellent thermal and mechanical stability, suggests a broader potential. Therefore, in this work, we extend its application scope by systematically exploring its suitability for hydrogen storage using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations by exploiting the polarizing mechanism induced by alkali atoms. Particularly, our findings demonstrate that Li (−4.16 eV) and Na (−3.31 eV) bind strongly to 3D-B 2 P 2 driven by pronounced charge transfer. This phenomenon enables the polarization of up to five H 2 molecules per metal atom, yielding capacities of 7.07 and 6.36 wt %, meeting the DOE’s targets, with optimal average adsorption energies for reversible storage (−0.152 and −0.105 eV/H 2 ). Furthermore, the functionalized systems exhibit very low H 2 diffusion barriers (0.0056–0.12 eV) ensuring efficient kinetics. Pressure–H 2 capacity–temperature-dependent studies reveal that the Li-functionalized system achieves an effective, reversible gravimetric capacity of 5.74 wt % at 298.15 K and 46 bar, aligning with practical application requirements. AIMD simulations confirm stable hydrogen cycling under ambient conditions. Thus, experimental investigations of 3D-B 2 P 2 as a potential material for reversible H 2 storage are recommended.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
