Interception of Layered LP-N and HLP-N at Ambient Conditions by Confined Template

Abstract

We propose a feasible strategy of intercepting the layered polymeric nitrogen (LP-N) and hexagonal layered polymeric nitrogen (HLP-N) at ambient conditions by using the confinement templates. The stable mechanism of confined LP-N and HLP-N at ambient conditions is revealed, namely the synergistic effect of charge transfer and vdW confinement effect. The influence rule of interlayer spacing on the stability of LP-N is revealed. Most importantly, the nitrogen content and energy density of recoverable LP-N@graphene (70.59%, 8.15 kJ/g), LP-N@h-BN (70.59%, 7.96 kJ/g), HLP-N@graphene (68.97%, 9.31 kJ/g), and HLP-N@h-BN (69.57%, 8.05 kJ/g) refresh the new record for the confinement polynitrogen system.
