Abstract: We identified a class of novel low energy phases of the hydrogen storage material LiAlH4 by using the ab initio minima hopping crystal structure prediction method. These phases are, unlike previous predictions and known structures of similar materials, characterized by polymeric networks consisting of Al atoms interlinked with H atoms. The most stable structure is a layered ionic crystal with P21/c symmetry, and it has lower free-energy than previously reported structure over a wide range of temperatures. Furthermore, we carried out x-ray diffraction, phonon and GW band structure analysis in order to characterize the P21/c phase. Its experimental synthesis would have profound implications for the study of dehydrogenation/rehydrogenation processes and the stability problem of LiAlH4 for hydrogen storage applications.
