Abstract
State-of-the-art electronic structure calculations yield results consistent with the observed compound SiLiMg and provide likelihood of the availability of IrLiMg and RhLiMg. Similar calculations provide likelihood of the availability of YLiMgH, ZrLiMgH, NbLiMgH, MoLiMgH, TcLiMgH, RuLiMgH, RhLiMgH, LaLiMgH, CeLiMgH, CeLiMgH, PrLiMgH, NdLiMgH, PmLiMgH, SmLiMgH, EuLiMgH, GdLiMgH, TbLiMgH, DyLiMgH, HoLiMgH, ErLiMgH, TmLiMgH, YbLiMgH, LuLiMgH, HfLiMgH, TaLiMgH, ReLiMgH, OsLiMgH, and IrLiMgH(here n is an integer having a value in a particular compound of 4-7) as solid hydrides for the storage and release of hydrogen. Different hydrogen contents may be obtained in compounds having the same XLiMg crystal structures. These materials offer utility for hydrogen storage systems.
