The mechanism of the molecular hydrogen adsorption to the Li-graphane system is considered in the article. It is shown that such system can adsorb up to 12 % WT of the molecular hydrogen. The result meets the generally accepted standards of the American Department of Energy (DOE) on the adsorbed hydrogen storage for its industrial use in transportation (6-7 % WT).
