Materials Data on Li2Ti6O13 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li2Ti6O13 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.52 Å. There are three inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–28°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–2.15 Å. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 34°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.82–2.24 Å. In the third Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 16–31°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.78–2.24 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Li1+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Ti4+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OTi4 trigonal pyramids. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li1+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Ti4+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OTi4 trigonal pyramids. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li1+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Ti4+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Li1+ and two Ti4+ atoms.
