Abstract: | First principles calculations of Li insertion in a variety of titanate structures have revealed a common mechanism underlying
the intercalation behavior of these materials. The mechanism is based on the accommodation of the electron density donated
upon intercalation in particular orbitals of Ti ions and is governed by a strong coupling between the structural and electronic
degrees of freedom. A new predictive model is developed which relates the local structure of TiO2 polymorphs to their phase behavior upon Li intercalation. |
