Materials Data on LiVO2 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiVO2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent VO6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 4°. All Li–O bond lengths are 2.18 Å. V3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form VO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 4°. All V–O bond lengths are 2.06 Å. O2- is bonded to three equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent V3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3V3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
