Abstract

Tavorite-type compositions offer a very rich crystal chemistry, among which LiVIIIPO4F has the highest theoretical energy density (i.e., 655 Wh/kg). In this article, an in-depth study of vanadyl-type defects generated by temperature-controlled oxidation of LiVIIIPO4F under air is proposed, and the influence of the defects on the electrochemical properties is demonstrated. A combination of high resolution synchrotron diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance was used to fully characterize the materials thus generated, from their average long-range structure to their local structure with the presence of defects. The increase of the annealing temperature tends to substitute oxygen for fluorine with the formation of a series of LiVPO4F1–xOx compositions. The miscibility domains appear to be narrow at the two ends of the solid solution (i.e., in the composition ranges LiVPO4F[1-0.9]O[0-0.1] and LiVPO4F[0-0.1]O[1-0.9]). The presence of vanadyl-type defects obtained ...
