Abstract The hydrogen storage behavior of Sc-decorated WS$_{2}$ monolayer and WS$_{2}$ nanoribbons is systematically studied by using first principles calculations based on the density functional theory. The present results indicate that an Sc-decorated WS$_{2}$ monolayer is not suitable for storing hydrogen due to the weak interaction between the monolayer WS$_{2}$ sheet and the Sc atoms. It is found that both the hybridization mechanism and the Coulomb attraction make the Sc atoms stably adsorb on the edges of WS$_{2}$ nanoribbons without clustering. The 2Sc/WS$_{2}$NRs system can adsorb at most eight H$_{2}$ molecules with average adsorption energy of 0.20 eV/H$_{2}$. The results show that the desorption of H$_{2}$ is possible by lowering the pressure or by increasing the temperature.
