摘要
An ab initio pseudopotential plane-wave method was used to calculate the total energies for several structures (Sn, Li2Sn5, LiSn, Li7Sn3, Li5Sn3, Li13Sn5, Li7Sn2, and Li) of the lithium-tin phase diagram. This information was used to determine a theoretical electrochemical voltage profile, which compares well with experiment for x < 2.5 in LixSn. For x > 2.5, it was found that the equilibrium structures predicted by the phase diagram were not formed in the room-temperature electrochemical cell, which explains why the calculated results are less good there. Calculations of this type are useful for materials research in lithium-ion batteries. [S0163-1829(98)03048-3].
