Description
Summary:The crystal structures of 197 lithium–silicate compounds have been analyzed using the method of crystal chemistry analysis (TOPOS software package). The compounds whose structures are characterized with a combination of high values of such parameters as the channel radius, stability, gravimetric capacity, and capacity per volume unit have been revealed: LiFeSiO 4 ( R 3̄), Li 4 Fe 2 Si 3 O 10 ( C 2/ c ), Li 2 FeSiO 4 ( Pc 2 1 n ), and Li 2 FeSiO 4 ( C 222 1 ). It has been demonstrated that lithium–iron silicates of the monoclinic syngony have high values of the capacity per volume unit, as compared to those of the rhombic syngony. The structural stability of the Li 2 FeSiO 4 ( Pc 2 1 n ) framework has been corroborated using the method of computer simulation within the scopes of the electron density functional theory. The obtained information could facilitate creation of novel cathode materials of high capacity and specific accumulated energy.
