We report the results of the first-principles calculation on the intermediate compounds of LiBH$_4$. The stability of LiB$_3$H$_8$ and Li$_2$B$_n$H$_n (n=5-12)$ has been examined with the ultrasoft pseudopotential method based on the…
The properties of the mixed system LiBH4 LiCl P2S5 are studied with respect to all-solid-state batteries. The studied material undergoes an amorphization upon heating above 601C, accompanied with increased Li+ conductivity beneficial for…
The thermodynamical stability of ${\rm Al(BH_4)_3}$ has been investigated using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The heats of formation are obtained to be -132 and $-131 {\rm kJ/mol}$ without the zero-point…
Using density functional theory we examine the crystal structure and the finite-temperature thermodynamics of formation and dehydrogenation for the new quaternary hydride Li4BN3H10. Two recent studies based on X-ray and neutron diffraction…
Evolutionary crystal structure prediction searches have been employed to explore the ternary Li-F-H system at 300 GPa. Metastable phases were uncovered within the static lattice approximation, with LiF$_3$H$_2$, LiF$_2$H, Li$_3$F$_4$H,…
LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, which has a spinel framework structure, is a promising candidate for the cathode material of next-generation lithium-ion batteries with high energy density. We investigate the structural transition in LixNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (0 <= x…
Density functional theory calculations have been used to identify stable layered Li-$M$-B crystal structure phases derived from a recently proposed binary metal-sandwich (MS) lithium monoboride superconductor. We show that the MS lithium…
Boron nitride (BN) is a material with outstanding technological promise because of its exceptional thermochemical stability, structural, electronic and thermal conductivity properties, and extreme hardness. Yet, the relative thermodynamic…
Combining high-throughput first-principles calculations and experimental measurements, we have identified a novel family of fast lithium-ion chalcogenide conductors in Li$_2$BMQ$_4$ (2114, B = Ca, Sr and Ba; M = Si, Ge and Sn; Q = O, S and…

We investigate the superconducting ternary lithium borohydride phase diagram at pressures of 0 and 200$\,$GPa using methods for evolutionary crystal structure prediction and linear-response calculations for the electron-phonon coupling. Our…
Li2FeSiO4 is an important alternative cathode for next generation Li-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity (330 mA h/g). However, its development has faced significant challenges arising from structural complexity and poor…
We show that, at high densities, fully variational solutions of solid-like type can be obtained from a density functional formalism originally designed for liquid 4He. Motivated by this finding, we propose an extension of the method that…
Quasi-hydrostatic compression of rhombohedral boron monosulfide (r-BS) has been studied up to 50 GPa at room temperature using diamond-anvil cells and angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction. A fit of the experimental P-V data to the…
