Materials Data on Li4MnCo2NiO8 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li4MnCo2NiO8 is Caswellsilverite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent MnO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent NiO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one MnO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one NiO6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–9°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.29 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 11°. There are two shorter (2.13 Å) and four longer (2.14 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent NiO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°. There are four shorter (2.14 Å) and two longer (2.21 Å) Li–O bond lengths. Mn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–9°. There is two shorter (1.93 Å) and four longer (1.97 Å) Mn–O bond length. Co4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent MnO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent NiO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–11°. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–2.13 Å. Ni2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent NiO6 octahedra, edges with four equivalent CoO6 octahedra, and edges with six LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–9°. There are four shorter (2.07 Å) and two longer (2.12 Å) Ni–O bond lengths. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+, two equivalent Mn2+, and one Co4+ atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3Mn2Co octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–8°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+, one Mn2+, and two equivalent Co4+ atoms to form OLi3MnCo2 octahedra that share corners with six OLi3MnCo2 octahedra and edges with twelve OLi3Mn2Co octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–11°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+, one Co4+, and two equivalent Ni2+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3CoNi2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–8°. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+, two equivalent Co4+, and one Ni2+ atom to form OLi3Co2Ni octahedra that share corners with six OLi3MnCo2 octahedra and edges with twelve OLi3Mn2Co octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–11°.
