Abstract
Hydrogen storage is a definitive step for commercialization of energy production. The solid stated method of hydrogen storge gained much attention in current research, instead of large number of storage thehniques. This research rationally shows the optoelectronic properties of Li3AlH6 using computational method. The structrual, density of states and corresponding optical and electrical properties of Li3AlH6 was investigated. Firstly, we optimize the crystal structures of solid state Li3AlH6 hydrides. Furthermore, electronic and optical band structures of hydrides is computed. The Li3AlH6 have indirect bands gap as 2.97 eV (N-Gamma). Thus, the investigating material is electronically semiconducting. This indicates that Li3AlH6 has a deep influence on its electronic structure and optical properties, which is the goal of theoretical basis for research to be achieved.
