Title: Materials Data on LiCaPO4 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiCaPO4 crystallizes in the trigonal P31c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra and corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.04 Å. Ca2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.58 Å. There are three inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.56 Å) and three longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.54 Å) and one longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.55 Å) and three longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. Inmore » the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Ca2+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ca2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, two equivalent Ca2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Ca2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Ca2+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal pyramidal geometry to three equivalent Li1+ and one P5+ atom.« less
