Al6O24V6
Al6O24V6 is a stable, insulating spinel oxide catalyst composed of aluminum, vanadium, and oxygen.
About Al6O24V6
Al6O24V6 is a thermodynamically stable oxide that occupies a distinct position within the spinel oxide catalyst family. As a wide-band-gap insulator, it exhibits electronic properties that make it a compelling subject for fundamental materials research and potential catalytic applications.
Its structural integrity, confirmed by its presence on the convex hull, suggests high potential for durability in specialized chemical environments. Researchers study this compound to better understand the interplay between aluminum-vanadium-oxygen frameworks and their influence on surface reactivity.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Al6O24V6, aggregated across 3 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.
StabilityA plain-language summary of the best reported energy-above-hull result. It reflects whether the lowest-energy structure is on, near, or far from the stability hull.
