The graphane with chemically bonded alkali metals (Li, Na, K) was considered as potential material for hydrogen storage. The ab initio calculations show that such material can adsorb as many as 4 hydrogen molecules per Li, Na and K metal atoms. These values correspond to 12.20 wt%, 10.33 wt% and 8.56 wt% of hydrogen, respectively and exceed the DOE requirements. The thermodynamic analysis shows that Li-graphane complex is the most promising for hydrogen storage with ability to adsorb 3 hydrogen molecules per metal atom at 300 K and pressure in the range from 5 to 250 atm.
