LiMnSbO4
LiMnSbO4 is a thermodynamically stable, semiconducting layered oxide containing lithium, manganese, antimony, and oxygen, primarily investigated for its potential in energy storage technologies.
About LiMnSbO4
LiMnSbO4 is a complex layered lithium transition-metal oxide that occupies a stable position on the convex hull. As a semiconducting material, it represents a specialized member of the lithium-based oxide family, characterized by its unique quaternary elemental composition involving lithium, manganese, antimony, and oxygen. Its structural integrity makes it a subject of interest for researchers investigating stable host lattices for electrochemical applications. The material is primarily studied for its potential in advanced battery technologies where structural stability and electronic properties are critical for performance. By integrating antimony into the manganese-oxide framework, it offers a distinct alternative to traditional transition-metal oxides, providing a platform for exploring ion diffusion pathways and redox stability in solid-state systems.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for LiMnSbO4, 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.
