XNiH3 (X = Li, Na, and K) perovskite type hydrides have been studied by using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and these materials are found to be stable and synthesizable. The X-ray diffraction patterns have been obtained and they indicate that all materials have the polycrystalline structure. The electronic properties have been investigated and it has been found that these structures show metallic character. The Bader partial charge analysis has also been performed. In addition, the elastic constants have been calculated and these materials are found to be mechanically stable. Using these elastic constants, the mechanical properties such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio have been obtained. Moreover, the Debye temperatures and thermal conductivities have been studied. The anisotropic elastic properties have been visualized in three dimensions (3D) for Young's modulus, linear compressibility, shear modulus and Poisson's ratio as well as with the calculation of the anisotropic factors. Additionally, the dynamical stability has been investigated and obtained phonon dispersion curves show that these materials are dynamically stable. Also, the thermal properties including free energy, enthalpy, entropy and heat capacity have been studied. The hydrogen storage properties have been examined and the gravimetric hydrogen storage capacities have been calculated as 4.40 wt%, 3.57 wt% and 3.30 wt% for LiNiH3, NaNiH3 and KNiH3, respectively. Furthermore, the hydrogen desorption temperatures have been obtained as 446.3 K, 419.5 K and 367.5 K for LiNiH3, NaNiH3 and KNiH3, respectively. (C) 2019 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.

Development and characterization of layered Li(NixMnyCo1-x-y)O-2 cathode materials for lithium ion batteries Piskin, Berke; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri (Elsevier BV, 2016-06-22) The structure of the layered Li(NixMnyCo1-x-y)O-2 in different amounts of x and y ranging between 0.2 and 0.6, have been synthesized and investigated by powder X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy techniques. In the current work spray pyrolysis was used to obtain spherical fine-sized morphology followed by heat treatment to obtain better electrochemical activity. The precursor powders were prepared using aqueous solution via spray pyrolysis. Synthesized samples were then heat treated at 850 degrees C. ...
Properties of BaYO3 perovskite and hydrogen storage properties of BaYO3Hx Gencer, Ayşenur; Surucu, Gokhan (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-27) In this study, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been performed for BaYO3 perovskite with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) as implemented in Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP). The structural optimization of BaYO3 perovskite have been studied for the five possible phases: cubic, tetragonal, hexagonal, orthorhombic and rhombohedral to determine the most stable phase of BaYO3 perovskite. It has been found that the cubic phase is the most stable one and electronic and mechan...
Enhancement of hydrogen storage properties of Ca3CH antiperovskite compound with hydrogen doping Gencer, Ayşenur; Surucu, Gokhan (Wiley, 2020-01-01) The doping effect of hydrogen on the Ca3CHx (x = 1, 4, 7, 9, and 10) antiperovskite compounds has been examined using density functional theory (DFT). The results of the structural optimizations show that all these compounds have negative formation energy implying the energetic stability and synthesizability. The band structures that are essential for the electronic properties have been determined along with the partial density of states (DOS) showing the metallic behavior of these compounds. In addition, t...
The effect of hydrogen on the electronic, mechanical and phonon properties of LaMgNi4 and its hydrides for hydrogen storage applications Baysal, M. B.; SÜRÜCÜ, GÖKHAN; DELİGÖZ, ENGİN; ÖZIŞIK, HAVVA (Elsevier BV, 2018-12-27) Density functional theory calculations are used herein to explore the effect of hydrogen on the electronic, mechanical and phonon properties of LaMgNi4 and its hydrides. The polycrystalline elastic moduli, Poisson's ratios and Debye temperatures are calculated based on the single-crystal elastic constants and Voigt-Reuss-Hill approximations. It is also found that all these materials are metallic behavior, ductile and anisotropic in nature. The mechanical anisotropy is discussed via several anisotropy indice...
