Abstract
State-of-the-art electronic structure calculations provide the likelihood of the availability of YLiN, ZrLiN, NbLiN, MoLiN, TcLiN, RuLiN, RhLiN, GeLiN, InLiN, and SnLiNas compounds for reaction with hydrogen under suitable conditions. Such calculations also provide the likelihood of the availability of YLiNH, ZrLiNH, NbLiNH, MoLiNH, TcLiNH, RuLiNH, RhLiNH, PdLiNH, AgLiNH, CdLiNH, AlLiNH, GaLiNH, GeLiNH, InLiNH, SnLiNH, and SbLiNH, (here n is an integer having a value of 1-6) as solid hydrides for the storage of hydrogen. These materials offer utility for hydrogen storage systems.
