Li2Co3WO8
Li2Co3WO8 is a semiconducting, metastable layered oxide composed of lithium, cobalt, and tungsten.
About Li2Co3WO8
Li2Co3WO8 is a complex layered lithium transition-metal oxide containing cobalt and tungsten. As a semiconducting material, it represents a specialized variation within the broader family of lithium-based oxides often investigated for electrochemical applications.
Due to its position above the thermodynamic stability hull, this compound is considered metastable. Its existence across multiple reported structures highlights its role as a subject of interest for researchers exploring structural diversity in multi-metal oxide systems.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Li2Co3WO8, 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.

How It Compares
Within the layered lithium transition-metal oxides class.
Unlike the highly stable and commercially ubiquitous LiCoO2, which serves as the industry standard for cathode materials, Li2Co3WO8 exhibits a more complex and less stable framework. While materials like LiNiO2 and LiMn2O4 are well-characterized for their reversible ion diffusion, Li2Co3WO8 remains an experimental curiosity that challenges traditional structural paradigms within the layered oxide class.
