LiNiOF
LiNiOF is a metastable, semiconducting lithium transition-metal oxyfluoride used in advanced materials research for battery technology.
About LiNiOF
LiNiOF is a semiconducting member of the layered lithium transition-metal oxide family. As a metastable compound, it represents a unique structural variation within the complex landscape of lithium-based oxyfluorides, offering distinct electrochemical pathways for investigation in energy storage systems.
Its significance lies in the incorporation of fluorine into the oxide lattice, which alters the electronic environment compared to traditional cathode materials. Researchers study this compound to understand how anion substitution influences stability and ion mobility during charge and discharge cycles.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for LiNiOF, 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.

How It Compares
Within the layered lithium transition-metal oxides class.
Unlike the highly stable and widely commercialized LiCoO2 or LiNiO2, LiNiOF exists in a metastable state, making its synthesis and structural characterization more challenging. It occupies a niche position in the class, serving as an experimental alternative to more conventional oxides like LiMn2O4 by leveraging the unique electronegativity of fluorine to tune its electrochemical properties.
