Li2Mn2CrO6
Li2Mn2CrO6 is a semiconducting layered lithium transition-metal oxide investigated for its potential role in advanced battery cathode materials.
About Li2Mn2CrO6
Li2Mn2CrO6 belongs to the class of layered lithium transition-metal oxides, characterized by its semiconducting electronic nature. As a complex oxide containing manganese and chromium, it represents an experimental candidate for advanced energy storage research. Its structural configuration is designed to facilitate lithium-ion mobility, which is critical for high-performance electrochemical applications. Although it is currently identified as being above the thermodynamic hull, its complex chemistry provides valuable insights into the stability and performance limits of multi-metal oxide systems. The material is studied primarily for its potential to optimize cathode performance in next-generation battery architectures.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Li2Mn2CrO6, aggregated across 3 databases.

How It Compares
Within the layered lithium transition-metal oxides class.
Unlike the highly stable and commercially ubiquitous LiCoO2 or the widely studied LiMn2O4, Li2Mn2CrO6 exists in a metastable state that presents unique challenges for synthesis and long-term cycling. While siblings like LiNiO2 and Li2MnO3 are established benchmarks for layered oxide performance, this compound occupies a more specialized niche, serving as a platform for investigating how chromium substitution influences the structural integrity and electronic behavior of manganese-rich layered frameworks.
