The structural evolutionary behaviors of AgN3 have been studied by using the particle swarm optimization structure search method combined with the density functional theory. One stable high-pressure metal polymeric phase with the [Formula: see text] space group is suggested. The enthalpy difference analysis indicates that the Ibam-AgN3 phase will transfer to the I4/mcm-AgN3 phase at 4.7 GPa and then to the [Formula: see text]-AgN3 phase at 24 GPa. The [Formula: see text]-AgN3 structure is composed of armchair–antiarmchair N-chain, in which all the N atoms are sp2 hybridization. The inherent stability of the armchair–antiarmchair chain and the anion–cation interaction between the N-chain and Ag atom induce a high stability of the [Formula: see text]-AgN3 phase, which can be captured at ambient conditions and hold its stable structure up to 1400 K. The exhibited high energy density (1.88 KJ/g) and prominent detonation properties ([Formula: see text] Km/s; [Formula: see text] GPa) of the [Formula: see text]-AgN3 phase make it a potentially high energy density material.

Abstract Polynitrogen compounds have been intensively studied for potential applications as high energy density materials, especially in energy and military fields. Here, using the swarm intelligence algorithm in combination with first-principles calculations, we systematically explored the variable stoichiometries of yttrium–nitrogen compounds on the nitrogen-rich regime at high pressure, where a new stable phase of YN10 adopting I4/m symmetry was discovered at the pressure of 35 GPa and showed metallic character from the analysis of electronic properties. In YN10, all the nitrogen atoms were sp2-hybridized in the form of N5 ring. Furthermore, the gravimetric and volumetric energy densities were estimated to be 3.05 kJ/g and 9.27 kJ/cm-1 respectively. Particularly, the calculated detonation velocity and pressure of YN10 (12.0 km/s, 82.7 GPa) was higher than that of TNT (6.9 km/s, 19.0 GPa) and HMX (9.1 km/s, 39.3 GPa), making it a potential candidate as a high-energy-density material.
