Li3Ti2Co3O10
Li3Ti2Co3O10 is a semiconducting layered lithium transition-metal oxide currently being investigated for its complex structural properties in materials science research.
About Li3Ti2Co3O10
Li3Ti2Co3O10 is a complex layered lithium transition-metal oxide characterized by its semiconducting electronic nature. As a multi-component oxide, it represents an intricate arrangement of lithium, titanium, cobalt, and oxygen atoms within a crystalline lattice.
While this material is of significant interest for its structural diversity, it is currently categorized as thermodynamically unstable relative to the ground state. Its study contributes to the broader understanding of how transition metal substitutions influence the stability and electrochemical potential of layered oxide materials.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Li3Ti2Co3O10, 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.
