First-principles study of hydrogen adsorption behavior in C15 Laves phase compound ZrV2

The hydrogen absorption behavior of C15 Laves phase compounds ZrV2 has been systematically investigated by the first-principles calculations. In the C15 Laves phase, hydrogen atoms can occupy three possible tetrahedral interstitial positions—2A2B, 1A3B, and 4B—in which the 2A2B site, being the large...
