Investigating the Impact of Strained Graphene on Hydrogen Storage Capability

Abstract

Graphene has sparked considerable scientific curiosity owing to its remarkable characteristics such as strength, flexibility, and electrical conductivity. This thesis delves into the influence of magnetic fields resulting from geometric deformations on graphene's surface on hydrogen storage capacity. Our simulations reveal a disruption in hydrogen absorption at an approximate concentration of 0.75 M, impacting its storage capacity. Notably, the x2 - y2 geometric deformation exhibited the highest hydrogen absorption rate of 62.5%
