Li-adsorbed BC7 sheet is a promising reversible material for hydrogen storage.
The adsorption of Li atoms on both sides of the BC7 sheet is researched.
The BC7 with Li atom coverage 畏=25.0% is most suitable.
Li–BC7 approach 10.01 wt% of hydrogen at room temperature and 21–350 atm.
Binding between Li and BC7 sheet effectively prevents clustering of metal atoms.
