Re-evaluation of experimental measurements for the validation of electronic band structure calculations for LiFePO4 and FePO4.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Experimental measurements used to validate previous electronic band structure calculations for olivine LiFePO4 and its delithiated phase, FePO4, have been re-investigated in this study. Experimental band gaps of LiFePO4 and FePO4 have been determined to be 6.34 eV and 3.2 eV by electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and UV-Vis-NIR diffusion reflectance spectroscopy, respectively. X-ray photoemission (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy show that the surfaces of very carefully synthesized LiFePO4 display Li-depletion, which affects optical reflectance determinations. Based on these experimental measurements, functionals for density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the electronic properties have been revisited. Overall, electronic struc
