Abstract
We present a first-principles electronic band structure for pure delithiated and Cr-doped It indicates that not only Fe but also O atoms are oxidized in the delithiation process, while P is little affected. This is in contrast to the usual view of the intercalation reaction that the removal of Li only transforms Fe from to but in agreement with the present x-ray photoemission spectroscopy experiment. Calculation also assumes a significant enhancement of electronic conductivity when lithium ions are replaced by cations with higher valence, We also confirm experimentally, for with and 0.03, an enhancement of the electronic conductivity up to eight orders of magnitude comparing with pure Besides the conventional p-type doping conductivity, another mechanism has been suggested, which involves the electron hopping within a cluster surrounding the doping atom and related vacancies, and electron tunneling between these conducting clusters.
