Abstract
First-principles studies of iron oxyfluorides in the FeF[subscript 2] rutile framework (FeO[subscript x]F[subscript 2−x], 0≤x≤1) are performed using density functional theory (DFT) in the general gradient approximation (GGA) with a Hubbard U correction. Studies of O/F orderings reveal FeOF to be particularly stable compared to other FeO[subscript x]F[subscript 2−x] (x≠1) structures, where FeF[subscript 2]-FeOF mixing is not energetically favored. The band gap of FeF[subscript 2] is found to decrease as oxygen is substituted into its structure. The GGA + U electronic structure evolves from that of a Mott-Hubbard insulator (x=0) to a charge transfer semiconductor (x=1). Lithiation studies reveal that lithiation sites offering mixed O/F environments are the most stable. An insertion voltage plateau up to Li[subscript 0.5]FeOF on lithiation is found, in agreement with recent Li-ion battery experiments. The energetics of further lithiation with respect to conversion scenarios are discussed.
