Materials Data on Li7Mn5O12 by Materials Project

Abstract

Li7Mn5O12 is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four 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 7–11°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.21 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 6–12°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.37 Å. In the third 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 2.03–2.37 Å. In the fourth 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 equivalent MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–12°. There are four shorter (2.10 Å) and two longer (2.21 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 three equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and edges with nine LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–11°. There is four shorter (1.95 Å) and two longer (1.98 Å) Mn–O bond length. 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 equivalent MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–8°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.25 Å. 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 six LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–8°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.28 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first 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 0–8°. 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 0–8°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Li1+ and two equivalent Mn+3.40+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLi4Mn2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–8°. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Li1+ and two equivalent Mn+3.40+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLi4Mn2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–8°. In the fifth 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 0–7°. In the sixth 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.
