摘要:

尖晶石结构的锂锰氧化物(LiMn $_2$ O $_4$)是目前用作二次锂离子电池的阴极的材料,但其性质尚未完全了解。在这里,我们报告的计算调查的反转热力学和电子行为的锂锰$_2$ O $_4$来自自旋极化密度泛函理论计算与哈伯德哈密顿量和远程色散修正(DFT+ $U-$ D3)。通过对LiMn $_2$ O $_4$的构型自由能的分析,阐明了LiMn尖晶石的部分逆平衡阳离子分布。这种平衡程度的反转是合理化的晶体场的稳定效果和阳离子的大小之间的差异。我们比较了原子的电荷与氧化数为每个程度的反转。我们发现,一旦这些离子占据的尖晶石的四面体和八面体网站的Mn电荷的偏析。我们得到了电子能带结构和态密度的原子投影,表明正常的LiMn $_2$ O $_4$具有半金属性质,而完全反尖晶石是绝缘体。这种材料是在亚铁磁状态的反和部分反阳离子的安排。优化的晶格和氧的参数,以及反转的平衡程度,是与现有的实验数据。部分逆平衡反转度在解释锂离子迁移和LiMn $_2$ O $_4$尖晶石的表面性质方面是重要的。

英文摘要:

The spinel-structured lithium manganese oxide (LiMn$_2$O$_4$) is a material currently used as cathode for secondary lithium-ion batteries, but whose properties are not yet fully understood. Here, we report a computational investigation of the inversion thermodynamics and electronic behaviour of LiMn$_2$O$_4$ derived from spin-polarised density functional theory calculations with a Hubbard Hamiltonian and long-range dispersion corrections (DFT+$U-$D3). Based on the analysis of the configurational free energy, we have elucidated a partially inverse equilibrium cation distribution for the LiMn$_2$O$_4$ spinel. This equilibrium degree of inversion is rationalised in terms of the crystal field stabilisation effects and the difference between the size of the cations. We compare the atomic charges with the oxidation numbers for each degree of inversion. We found segregation of the Mn charge once these ions occupy the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of the spinel. We have obtained the atomic projections of the electronic band structure and density of states, showing that the normal LiMn$_2$O$_4$ has half-metallic properties, while the fully inverse spinel is an insulator. This material is in the ferrimagnetic state for the inverse and partially inverse cation arrangement. The optimised lattice and oxygen parameters, as well as the equilibrium degree of inversion, are in agreement with the available experimental data. The partially inverse equilibrium degree of inversion is important in the interpretation of the lithium ion migration and surface properties of the LiMn$_2$O$_4$ spinel.
