(color online) Optimized atomic geometries for the maximum number of hydrogen molecules adsorbed on Θ = 0.25 Li coverage one side and both sides of the MoS2 system. Hydrogen molecules are formed in two layer structures. To elaborate further on the configuration of the adsorbed hydrogen molecules, the top view of 6 hydrogen molecules adsorbed on Θ = 0.25 Li coverage MoS2 4*4 supercell are shown in the bottom panel. Top view of 6 hydrogen molecules adsorbed on Θ = 0.25 Li coverage (e) monolayer and (f) bilayer MoS2, respectively.
