Abstract
Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the surface energies, equilibrium morphology, and surface redox potentials for in the olivine structure. Low-energy surfaces are found in the [100], [010], [011], [101], [201], and [301] directions of the orthorhombic structure. With the calculated surface energies, we provide the thermodynamic equilibrium shape for the crystal through a Wulff construction. The dominating surfaces in the Wulff shape are (010), (011), and (201). Most of the surfaces in the Wulff shape have lower Li extraction potentials than the bulk, except for the (100) and (011) surfaces.Keywords
