LiV3O6
LiV3O6 is a metastable, semiconducting lithium vanadium oxide used primarily in fundamental materials research.
About LiV3O6
LiV3O6 is a semiconducting lithium oxide characterized by its metastable nature. As a complex oxide of lithium and vanadium, it represents a unique structural arrangement that distinguishes it from more common lithium-based battery materials. Its electronic properties make it an interesting subject for fundamental research into vanadium-based systems.
This compound is primarily studied for its potential roles in electrochemical applications where specific vanadium oxidation states are required. While it lacks the widespread commercial adoption of some of its counterparts, its structural diversity and the availability of multiple reported phases highlight its significance in solid-state chemistry investigations.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for LiV3O6, 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.
