For the Li-N system samples were obtained at pressures of nitrogen from 1 to 10 atm. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrum of a sample of Li-N subjected to degradation shows that lithium nitride turned into carbonate as evidenced by the predominant content of carbon and oxygen. Upon synthesis of lithium nitride at a positive pressure of nitrogen, the ¦Â-modification is formed, which can be achieved at a pressure 500 times lower than that described in literature, required to create a high-pressure phase. The increase in carbon content with increasing of synthesis pressure of lithium nitride confirms the change in stoichiometry of its structure formed with high nitrogen content.
