采用基于密度泛函理论的第一原理赝势平面波方法, 计算了LiNH2-X (X=Mg, Al, Ti, Nb)体系的晶体与电子结构及稳定性能. 负合金形成热与H原子解离能的计算发现: 合金化元素X在LiNH2中少量置换固溶时, 体系结构稳定性发生变化, 合金化增强了体系的解氢能力, 其中Nb提高LiNH2体系解氢效果最好, 理论计算预测合金化提高体系解氢性能与他人结果一致. 电子态密度(DOS)与电子密度分析发现: X (X=Mg, Al, Ti, Nb)合金化提高LiNH2解氢能力的主要原因是X导致LiNH2体系Fermi能级附近能隙值发生变化以及Li与NH之间的成键作用减弱.

Crystal, electronic structure and stability of LiNH2-X (X=Mg, Al, Ti, Nb) system have been determined from first-principles calculation based on the density functional theory. The calculated negative heat of formation and dissociation energy of H atom show that when a little X dissolve into LiNH2 in a small amount of replacement solution, there are some changes on structural stability, alloying elements benefit to improve the dehydrogenating properties of the system and Nb was considered as the best element. Some results from theoretical calculation which alloying system can improve the dehydrogenation properties of LiNH2 hydride are in agreement well with other ones. After comparing the densities of states (DOS) and the charge distribution, it is found that the catalysis effect of X (X=Mg, Al, Ti, Nb) on dehydrogenating kinetics of LiNH2 may attribute to the changes of energy gap near the Fermi level and the weakened bonding between Li and NH.

Key words: plane-wave pseudopotential theory, LiNH2, heat of formation, electronic structure
