Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations are used to obtain the activation enthalpy and preexponential factor for the lattice diffusion of hydrogen in aluminum between the temperatures 650 and 850 K: H‡=0.12±0.02 eV and D0=1.8×10-7 m2/s. Vacancies are found to significantly decrease the apparent diffusivity due to their ability to bind one, two, or even six hydrogen atoms, causing a strong composition dependence and non-Arrhenius behavior of the effective diffusion coefficient.
