Materials Data on Li7Mn5O12 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li7Mn5O12 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/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 a cornercorner with one LiO6 octahedra, corners with five MnO6 octahedra, edges with five MnO6 octahedra, and edges with seven LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–12°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.40 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one LiO6 octahedra, corners with five MnO6 octahedra, edges with five MnO6 octahedra, and edges with seven LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–11°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.24 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with six LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–12°. There are four shorter (2.06 Å) and two longer (2.24 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Mn+3.40+ sites. In the first Mn+3.40+ site, Mn+3.40+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with four MnO6 octahedra, and edges with eight LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–7°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–1.98 Å. In the second Mn+3.40+ site, Mn+3.40+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with six LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–9°. There are four shorter (1.97 Å) and two longer (2.25 Å) Mn–O bond lengths. In the third Mn+3.40+ site, Mn+3.40+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MnO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with five MnO6 octahedra, and edges with seven LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–11°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.23 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Li1+ and two Mn+3.40+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi4Mn2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–9°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and three Mn+3.40+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3Mn3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–9°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Li1+ and three Mn+3.40+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi3Mn3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–9°. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Li1+ and two equivalent Mn+3.40+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OLi4Mn2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°.
