摘要
The structures of LiTiPO5 and LiTi2(PO4)(3), as well as the possibility of oxygen vacancies formation in the systems are studied by first-principles calculations. It is found that oxygen vacancies can be formed in LiTiPO5 and LiTi2(PO4)(3) under oxygen poor condition. The formation of oxygen vacancies introduce a defect band within their band gaps, which is expected to improve the electronic conductivity of LiTiPO5 and LiTi2(PO4)(3) significantly. Meanwhile, a great concentration of oxygen vacancies may increase the discharge voltage of LiTiPO5 and LiTi2(PO4)(3). (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
