Electronic structure and properties of Li2MnO3·LiMO2(M=Co,Ni) by density functional theory
A systematic first principles calculation based on density functional theory is carried out to discuss the structures and properties of LiMO2 (M=Co
Ni) and Li2MnO3
the lithium removal process of Li2MnO3 is studied from an energetic point of view. In LiMO2 (M=Co
Ni) and Li2MnO3 crystal structures
lithium exists in the Li+ form
and transition metals (Co
Ni
Mn ) are covalently bound to O. Because of spin polarization
the energy band gap of LiNiO2 system is much smaller than that of LiCoO2 and thus LiNiO2 is supposed to show batter conductivity performance. In the process of Li+ removal from Li2MnO3
it happens in the lithium layer at the beginning of charging process
and further removal is likely to take place at the Mn2/3Li1/3 layer. The electric structure of the LixMnO3 indicates that the charge compensation associated with lithium removal is performed mainly by the oxidation of oxygen
