摘要
We investigated the crystal structure of LixFeS2 with varying the amount of Li in the range of 1 < x <= 2 by first-principles theoretical calculations, in order to clarify its structural change and phase stability. We verified the structural phase transition around x = 1.5, which was suggested by experiments. In addition, we proposed the crystal structure of LixFeS2 in 1 <= x <= 1.5 for the first time. Furthermore, the sudden change of the electronic conductivity observed around x = 1.5 is properly explained with the change of the electronic band structure. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
