Abstract

The hydrogenation of Li3N at low chemical potential has been studied in situ by time-of-flight powder neutron diffraction and the formation of a nonstoichiometric
Li4_2xNH phase and Li4NH observed. The results are interpreted in terms of a model for the reaction pathway involving the production of Li4NH and Li2NH, which subsequently react together to form Li4_2xNH. Possible
mechanisms for the production of Li4NH from the hydrogenation of Li3N are discussed.
