Abstract

A computational screening study consisting of crystal structure prediction and density functional theory has been performed for dual-cation ammine metal borohydrides (AMBs) with a general formula of M₁M₂(BH₄)₃(NH₃)_2-6 (M₁ = Li, Na, or K and M₂ = Sr, Ca, Mg, Zn, Mn, or Ni). The stability and decomposition energies of the resulting 90 alloys were used for the evaluation of the screening. It has been observed that two recently synthesized dual-cation AMBs (LiMg(BH₄)₃(NH₃)₂ and NaZn(BH₄)₃(NH₃)₂) are predicted to form stable alloys. Moreover, the M₁(Mn,Mg)(BH₄)₃(NH₃)_2-6 and M₁Ni(BH₄)₃(NH₃)_4-6 alloys, which are not synthesized yet, are also found to be promising.
