Computational and Experimental investigation of Nalipoite-Li2APO4 (A = Na, K) electrolytes for Li-ion batteries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2015
Abstract
The potential ionic conductors Li2APO4 (A = Na, K) are investigated combining experiments and first principles calculations at the Density Functional Theory level. A high ionic conductivity of 6.5 x10−6 and 1.5 x10−5 S cm−1 at 25 and 70°C, respectively, is found in Nalipoite-Li2NaPO4. For this mixed phosphate the energy barriers to Li motion are calculated. The lower energy barrier (0.7 eV) implies the inter-chain diffusion of Li in the b-c plane. We predict that ionic mobility is enhanced in the isostructural Li2KPO4, with the lowest calculated energy barrier being 0.4 eV.
