title: Materials Data on Li5Al(Co2O5)2 by Materials Project

description: Li5Al(Co2O5)2 is alpha Po-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six CoO6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 3–4°. There are three shorter (2.11 Å) and three longer (2.12 Å) Li–O bond lengths. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 4°. All Li–O bond lengths are 2.12 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent CoO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent AlO6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent CoO6 octahedra, edges with three equivalent AlO6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 4–8°. There are three shorter (2.12 Å) and three longer (2.16 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Co3+ sites. In the first Co3+ site, Co3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with six LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 3–4°. All Co–O bond lengths are 2.03 Å. In the second Co3+ site, Co3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six LiO6 octahedra, edges with six LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 4°. There are three shorter (2.01 Å) and three longer (2.02 Å) Co–O bond lengths. Al3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 8°. All Al–O bond lengths are 1.96 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent Co3+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Co3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent Al3+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Al3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent Co3+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Co3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent Co3+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Co3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent Co3+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OLi3Co3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°.
