Stability, Elastic Properties, and Deformation of LiBN 2 : A Potential High-Energy Material.
Inorganic Chemistry 2018 June 5
Searching for high-energy-density materials is of great interest in scientific research and for industrial applications. Using an unbiased structure prediction method and first-principles calculations, we investigated the phase stability of LiBN2 from 0 to100 GPa. Two new structures with space groups P4̅21 m and Pnma were discovered. The theoretical calculations revealed that Pnma LiBN2 is stable with respect to a mixture of 1 /3 Li3 N, BN, and 1 /3 N2 above 22 GPa. The electronic band structure revealed that Pnma LiBN2 has an indirect band gap of 2.3 eV, which shows a nonmetallic feature. The Pnma phase has a high calculated bulk modulus and shear modulus, indicating its incompressible nature. The microscopic mechanism of the structural deformation was demonstrated by ideal tensile shear strength calculations. It is worth mentioning that Pnma LiBN2 is dynamically stable under ambient conditions. The decomposition of this phase is exothermic, releasing an energy of approximately 1.23 kJ/g at the PBE level. The results provide new thoughts for designing and synthesizing novel high-energy compounds in ternary systems.
