Abstract

The pursuit of superconductors combining kagomelike features represents a cutting-edge research challenge. Through crystal structure prediction and first-principles calculations, we systematically explore the Mg-P-H ternary system at 200 GPa, identifying two stable phases: kagome-structured MgP2H3 and hydrogen-clathrate MgPH6. Electron localization function analysis reveals that the kagomelike MgP2H3 exhibits a hybrid bonding character comprising both covalent and ionic bonds. Electron-phonon coupling calculations reveal a high superconducting critical temperature of 82.93 K in kagomelike MgP2H3, arising from strong coupling between optical/acoustic phonon modes and electronic states at the Fermi surface composed of P−3p, Mg−3p, and H−1s. This work not only uncovers high-temperature superconducting in the Mg-P-H system but also establishes a theoretical framework for designing kagomelike based superconducting hydrides.
