A model for this defect has been developed utilizing ab initio self-consistent-field, electronic-structure calculations. In this model, the interstitial lithium nucleus lies on a crystal twofold axis passing through two adjacent silicon ions, and has a nearly neutral charge but very low spin ...
Lithium deintercalation of LixCoO2 from x = 1 to x ≈ 0 has been carried out electrochemically. The changes in the electronic structure from LiCoO2 to CoO2 have been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to bring some new developments about the electron transfer mechanisms upon...
Ammonia (NH3) is essential for modern agriculture and industry and is a potential energy carrier. NH3 is traditionally synthesized by the Haber–Bosch process at high temperature and pressure. The high-energy input of this process has motivated research

The electronic structure of chemically delithiated Li_(1-x)CoO_2 (x = 0.02, 0.09, 0.12, 0.20, and 0.28) was investigated by electron energy-loss spectrometry (EELS). The O K edge and Co L_(2,3) edge were used to probe the density of unoccupied states around the O and Co ions at...
Structural study of Li2MnO3 by electron microscopy - Lei, Wen, et al. - 2009 () Citation Context ...olution TEM in Fig. 5.10C reveals grain sizes that are on the order of 5 nm. The identified lattice spacings might be related to the lithiumrich monoclinic Li2MnO3 structure with the...
The electron irradiation effects on the crystal structure of ?-lithium iodate (α-LiIO3) have been observed by TEM. Under the irradiation of medium-intense electron beam with energy 100 KeV, α-LiIO3 transforms into γ-LiIO3 at first and then into Li2O and an other new type of Li-O ...
Lithium-ion transport in cathodes, anodes, solid electrolytes, and through their interfaces plays a crucial role in the electrochemical performance of solid-state lithium-ion batteries. Direct visualization of the lithium-ion dynamics at the nanoscale provides valuable insight for understanding the fundame...
