Title: Materials Data on LiFePO4 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiFePO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six FeO6 octahedra, corners with two PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 71–76°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.14 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six FeO6 octahedra, corners with two PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 72–76°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.14 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six FeO6 octahedra, corners with two PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 71–76°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.10 Å. There are three inequivalent Fe2+ sites.

The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–51°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.58 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two Fe2+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLiFe2P tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two Fe2+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLiFe2P tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, two Fe2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Fe2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two Fe2+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLiFe2P tetrahedra.

In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Fe2+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Fe2+, and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Fe2+, and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, two Fe2+, and one P5+ atom.
