Li3Co2SbO6
Li3Co2SbO6 is a semiconducting layered oxide material containing lithium, cobalt, antimony, and oxygen that is studied for its potential in electrochemical applications.
About Li3Co2SbO6
Li3Co2SbO6 is a complex layered lithium transition-metal oxide characterized by its semiconducting electronic nature. As a member of this diverse class of materials, it is primarily investigated for its potential role in electrochemical energy storage and ion transport applications.
While this compound exhibits interesting structural characteristics, it is found to be thermodynamically metastable, residing above the stability hull. This positioning makes it a subject of significant interest for researchers studying phase stability and synthesis pathways in oxide systems.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Li3Co2SbO6, 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.
Within the broader family of layered lithium transition-metal oxides, Li3Co2SbO6 represents a more complex, multi-cation variant compared to simpler, well-established commercial standards like LiCoO2 or LiNiO2. Unlike these highly stable, widely utilized cathode materials, Li3Co2SbO6 is less common and presents unique challenges in synthesis and stability due to its distinct composition.
