LiH3O2
LiH3O2 is a thermodynamically stable, insulating lithium oxide compound known for its structural diversity.
About LiH3O2
LiH3O2 is a thermodynamically stable member of the lithium oxide class. As a wide-band-gap insulator, it exhibits distinct electronic properties that differentiate it from the more conductive transition metal-based oxides often used in energy storage. Its presence on the convex hull underscores its structural integrity under standard conditions. The compound is characterized by a significant degree of structural diversity, with multiple reported configurations across various databases. This structural richness makes it a compelling subject for fundamental studies into the bonding and stability of hydrogen-containing lithium oxides.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for LiH3O2, 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 lithium oxides class.
Unlike the widely utilized cathode materials LiCoO2 and LiMn2O4, which are valued for their electrochemical activity and metallic-like conductivity, LiH3O2 functions as an insulator. While Li2O serves as a fundamental building block in lithium oxide chemistry, LiH3O2 represents a more complex structural arrangement that highlights the role of hydrogen in stabilizing lithium-oxygen frameworks.
