Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 34Enhanced Hydrogen Storage of a Functional Material: Hf2cf2< Mxene With Li Decoration(Elsevier, 2021) Gencer, Aysenur; Aydin, Sezgin; Surucu, Ozge; Wang, Xiaotian; Deligoz, Engin; Surucu, GokhanIn this paper, the hydrogen storage properties of the Li-decorated stable Hf2CF2 MXene layer, obtained by the exfoliation of Al from Hf2AlC and F-termination, are considered by using first-principles calculations based on Density Functional Theory. First, the stability characteristics of the host structure (Hf2CF2 layer) are examined by investigating bulk Hf2AlC. To enhance the adsorbed number of H-2 molecules, the well-defined initial H-2 coordinates are constructed by CLICH (Cap-Like Initial Conditions for Hydrogens) and Monte Carlo-based algorithms. After the geometry optimizations of the designed H-2 systems on the Li/Hf2CF2 layer, the adsorption energies of nH(2)/Li/Hf2CF2 n = 1-10, 15, 20 and 25 systems are calculated, and the suitable values (0.2-0.6 eV/H-2) are obtained up to 15H(2). For n = 20 and 25 systems, which have adsorption energies of 0.15 eV/H-2 and 0.16 eV/H-2, respectively. The structural properties and adsorption geometries of these molecules are analyzed. Additionally, the partial density of the states, electron density difference maps, and Mulliken atomic charges are presented to identify the actual binding mechanism of the systems. The results reveal that the Li-decorated Hf2CF2 MXene layer can be preferred for the hydrogen storage applications due to its stable nature and the convenient adsorption characteristics.Article Citation - WoS: 48Citation - Scopus: 50Lattice Dynamical and Thermo-Elastic Properties of M2alb (m = V, Nb, Ta) Max Phase Borides(Elsevier Science Sa, 2020) Surucu, Gokhan; Gencer, Aysenur; Wang, Xiaotian; Surucu, OzgeThe structural, electronic, dynamic, and thermo-elastic properties of M2AlB (X = V, Nb, Ta) MAX phase borides were investigated using first principle calculations as implemented in the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The obtained structural properties and formation energies showed the thermodynamic stability and synthesizability of M2AlB. The electronic band structures were determined and they revealed that these compounds had a metallic character. The dynamic stability of M2AlB compounds were investigated with phonon dispersion curves and these compounds were found to be dynamically stable. The elastic constants were also calculated to determine the mechanical stability and to obtain the polycrystalline properties such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, etc. The thermo-elastic properties (thermal expansion coefficient, heat capacity, entropy, and free energy) were studied in a temperature range in between 0 and 1000 K and a pressure range in between 0 and 30 GPa. In addition, the direction dependent sound wave velocities were studied in three dimensions. Moreover, the minimum thermal conductivities and the diffusion thermal conductivities of these compounds were determined. This work is the processor study for the investigation of the main physical properties of M2AlB (M = V, Nb, Ta) ceramic compounds to date. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

Tl4Ag18Te11 compound was optimized in the I4mm space group and the formation energy was determined as a negative value that is the indication of the experimental synthesizability of this compound. The optimized crystal structure was employed for the calculations of the elastic constants and the obtained values revealed the mechanical stability of Tl4Ag18Te11 compound. The polycrystalline properties were determined such as shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, etc. In addition, the anisotropic elastic properties were presented. The direction dependent sound waves velocities, polarization of the sound waves, enhancement factor and the power flow angle were determined. The thermal conductivity studies were performed and the minimum thermal conductivity (0.259 W m(-1)K(-1)) and the diffusion thermal conductivity (0.202 W m(-1)K(-1)) were calculated. This study illustrates the capability of this compound for the thermoelectric materials.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 29The investigation of electronic, anisotropic elastic and lattice dynamical properties of MAB phase nanolaminated ternary borides: M 2 AlB 2 ( M = Mn , Fe and Co ) under spin effects(Elsevier Science Sa, 2020) Surucu, Gokhan; Yildiz, Bugra; Erkisi, Aytac; Wang, Xiaotian; Surucu, Ozge[No Abstract Available]
