LiLaO2
LiLaO2 is a wide-gap insulating lithium oxide that is considered thermodynamically accessible for synthesis.
About LiLaO2
LiLaO2 is a lithium-based oxide characterized by its wide-band-gap insulating electronic profile. Its position near the thermodynamic hull suggests that it is a viable candidate for synthesis and experimental investigation within the broader family of lithium-containing oxides.
This compound serves as a point of interest for researchers studying the structural diversity of ternary lithium oxides. Its stability and insulating nature make it a distinct subject for those exploring how lanthanum incorporation influences the lattice properties of lithium-based ceramics.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for LiLaO2, 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 highly active cathode materials LiCoO2 and LiNiO2 that dominate energy storage applications, LiLaO2 functions primarily as an insulating oxide. While it shares the fundamental lithium-oxygen framework found in Li2O or Li4SiO4, its electronic character and structural stability profile position it as a specialized material rather than a high-capacity electrochemical participant.
