LiScO2
LiScO2 is a thermodynamically stable, insulating lithium oxide ceramic known for its diverse structural arrangements.
About LiScO2
LiScO2 is a thermodynamically stable member of the lithium oxide family, characterized by its wide-band-gap insulating electronic profile. Its position on the convex hull indicates a robust structural integrity that makes it a subject of interest for fundamental materials research. The compound exhibits significant structural diversity, with multiple reported configurations across various databases. This structural flexibility highlights its potential as a model system for understanding lithium-ion coordination in oxide environments.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for LiScO2, 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 electrochemically active cathode materials in its class such as LiCoO2, LiNiO2, or LiMn2O4, LiScO2 functions primarily as a stable insulating oxide. While its siblings are frequently utilized for their redox properties in energy storage, LiScO2 serves as a structural analog that provides insight into the stability limits of lithium-containing ternary oxides.
