Abstract  The reaction of water and other materials has been the central topic under high-pressure physics research, because the Earth, super-Earth, Uranus, Neptune and other planets contain a great amount of water inside. However, the reaction between star-rich MgO and water under ultra-high pressure remains still poorly understood. Here, using ab initio evolutionary structure prediction researches of the structures of MgO-H2O system at 300 GPa-600 GPa, we find that (MgO)2H2O and MgO(H2O)2 could become stable. The (MgO)2H2O compounds may be an important component of super-Earth and the ice-rock boundary of Uranus and Neptune. Furthermore, it may be the reservoir under high pressure before the forming of the Earth's core or other super-Earths. The current findings could expand our knowledge and improve our understanding of the evolution and composition of planets.
