Abstract

Density functional theory is used to understand the response of the transition metal–oxygen octahedra in LixMn2O4 and LixNi0.5Mn1.5O4 to lithium intercalation and de-intercalation. Electronic structure computations on these compounds for x ¼ 0, 0.5 and 1 indicate that the 3d DOS of Mn is almost unaffected to variations in x. On the other hand, the oxygen 2p-DOS and to a lesser extent Ni 3d DOS are found to be sensitive to perturbation. The observations are explained on the grounds of self-regulating response, characteristic of systems having localized d states that communicate with a covalent manifold.
