Prediction of thermodynamically stable Li–B compounds at ambient pressure

Abstract

To clarify controversial structures and phase stability in the Li–B system, we predicted energetically favorable compositions and crystal structures of the Li–B binary system at ambient pressure, mainly including Li6B5, LiB2, and LiB3, from ab initio evolutionary structure simulations and further investigated physical properties of stable Li–B compounds using first-principles methods.
