Phase Separation Tendencies of Aluminum‐Doped Transition‐Metal Oxides ( LiAl1 − x M x O 2 ) in the α ‐ NaFeO2 Crystal Structure

Abstract
First‐principles methods are used to calculate the miscibility of eight aluminum‐doped transition‐metal oxides in the layered structure. This study finds that for all Li(Al,M) compounds investigated (M = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) the enthalpy of mixing is positive. In addition, detailed analyses were performed on and by calculating full temperature‐composition phase diagrams. For the Li(Al,Co) system, we find regions of immiscibility below −173°C and above 600°C. For both Li(Al,Co) and above 600°C, Al‐doping is limited by the formation of . © 1999 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.
