Abstract
The high-pressure phase diagram of the RbN system was updated by proposing six high-pressure phases (C2/m-RbN, P21/c-RbN3, P6mmm-RbN3, P4bm-RbN5, P1-RbN6, and Cm-RbN5). The P21/c-RbN3, P6mmm-RbN3, and P4bm-RbN5 and P1-RbN6 can be quenched to ambient pressure and temperature conditions. The charge transfer between Rb and N atoms promotes the formation of RbN ionic bond interactions, which plays an important role in the structural stability. Notably, the aromatic N5 rings are found in both P4bm-RbN5 and Cm-RbN5. More importantly, the nitrogen-rich RbN compounds exhibit high volumetric energy densities (Ev = 8.47–13.92 kJ/cm3), indicates that they are potential candidates as high energy density materials. This study provides theoretical guidance for experimental synthesis of novel metal nitrogen-rich compounds with high-energy characteristics.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
