The present invention is directed to a method for preparing 5-nitrotetrazolate using a strongly acidic ionic cation exchange resin that has improve yields over prior art methods. The methods disclosed herein can be used either in a batch process or continuous flow reactor. In one exemplary process, starting material sodium 5-aminotetrazolate in solution is added into a reaction vessel containing a strongly acidic ionic cation exchange resin to facilitate production of 5-nitrotetrazolate. Multiple reactors containing resins may be connected in series to improve 5-nitrotetrazolate yields and purity levels.
