Li5VF8
Li5VF8 is a metastable, insulating fluoride compound composed of lithium, vanadium, and fluorine.
About Li5VF8
Li5VF8 is a complex fluoride compound that exhibits wide-band-gap insulating behavior. As a metastable phase, it represents a specialized structural arrangement within the lithium-vanadium-fluorine chemical space, offering insights into the stability limits of such multi-component ionic systems.
Its electronic character suggests potential utility in applications requiring stable, non-conductive materials. While it remains a subject of ongoing structural investigation, its existence highlights the diverse coordination environments possible in lithium-rich fluoride frameworks.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for Li5VF8, 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.
