Hydrogen is considered as one of the attractive environmentally friendly materials with zero carbon emission. Hydrogen storage is still challenging for its use in various energy applications. That’s why hydrogen gained more and more attention to become a major fuel of today’s energy consumption. Therefore, nowadays, hydrogen storage materials are under extensive research. Herein, efforts are being devoted to design efficient systems which could be used for future hydrogen storage purposes. To this end, we have employed density functional theory (DFT) to optimize the geometries of the designed inorganic Al[Formula: see text]N[Formula: see text] nanoclusters with transition metals (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn). Various positions of metal encapsulated Al[Formula: see text]N[Formula: see text] are examined for efficient hydrogen adsorption. After adsorption of H2 on late transition metals encapsulated Al[Formula: see text]N[Formula: see text] nanocluster, different geometric parameters like frontier molecular orbitals, adsorption energies and nature bonding orbitals have been performed for exploring the potential of metal encapsulated for hydrogen adsorption. Moreover, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) analysis was also performed in order to explore the different charge separation upon H2 adsorption on metals encapsulated Al[Formula: see text]N[Formula: see text] nanoclusters. Also, global indices of reactivity like ionization potential, electron affinity, electrophilic index, chemical softness and chemical hardness were also examined by using DFT. The adsorption energy results suggested encapsulation of late transition metals in Al[Formula: see text]N[Formula: see text] nanocage efficiently enhancing the adsorption capability of Al[Formula: see text]N[Formula: see text] for hydrogen adsorption. Results of all analysis suggested that our designed systems are efficient candidates for hydrogen adsorption. Thus, we recommended a novel kind of systems for hydrogen storage materials.

Tellurides have attracted an enormous interest in the quest for materials addressing future challenges, because many of them are at the cutting edge of basic research and technologies due to their remarkable chemical and physical properties. The key to the tailored design of tellurides and their properties is a thorough understanding of their electronic structures including the bonding nature. While a unique type of bonding has been recently identified for post-transition-metal tellurides, the electronic structures of tellurides containing early and late-transition-metals have been typically understood by applying the Zintl−Klemm concept; yet, does the aforementioned formalism actually help us in understanding the electronic structures and bonding nature in such tellurides? To answer this question, we prototypically examined the electronic structure for an alkaline metal lanthanide zinc telluride, i.e., RbDyZnTe3, by means of first-principles-based techniques. In this context, the crystal structures of RbLnZnTe3 (Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy), which were obtained from high-temperature solid-state syntheses, were also determined for the first time by employing X-ray diffraction techniques.
