Cohesive energy of five types of vanadium phosphide compounds was calculated to assess their structural stability. The charge density distribution and densities of states of vanadium phosphides were discussed to study further their electronic structures. The results show that the structure of metal rich compounds is considerably more stable than the phosphorus rich compositions, and covalent bond exists between the V and P atoms of V 3 P, V 2 P, VP, VP 2 and VP 4. Key words: first principles calculations; stability; cohesive energy; covalent bond 1 Introduction In recent years, lithium ion batteries have grown rapidly as new portable power sources. Carbon materials are commercially used as the anode material of lithium ion battery. However, theoretical capacity of carbon materials is only 372 ma h/g [1]. In order to further enhance energy density of lithium ion batteries, new anode materials need to be developed [2 4]. Transition metal phosphides can provide high theoretically gravimetric and volumetric capacities because they can uptake large amounts of Li through insertion, displacement or conversion reactions. Hence, transition metal phosphides have been studied as a kind of anode materials that could potentially replace graphite in lithium ion batteries [5 9]. Recently, V P compounds have been aroused great interest due to their high theoretically gravimetric and volumetric capacities. It was reported that VP 2 as anode material has reversible capacity of 890 ma h/g, however, VP 2 suffers from bad cyclic stability (irreversible capacity of 37% after 20 cycles) [10]. Many factors can affect cyclic stability of anode material, such as ionic or electronic conductivity and crystal structure stability. It is very essential to explore systematically the nature of V P compounds as anode material so as to predict anode material with good properties. Although the structures of vanadium phosphides, for example V 3 P, V 2 P, VP, VP 2 and VP 4, have been known [11 15], to our best knowledge, there are less reports about theoretic analysis of transition metal phosphides as anode active material of lithium ion battery. In this work, the stability, bonding mechanism and electron structure of the V P compounds were investigated by first principles methods. 2 Models and computational details Five types of the binary V P compounds, V 3 P, V 2 P, VP, VP 2 and VP 4, were considered. The crystallographic data of V P compounds are summarized and listed in Table 1. The sketch of single crystal cell of above compounds is shown in Fig. 1. The calculations have been performed using the Foundation item: Project( ) supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China; Project(09C945) supported by the Scientific Research Fund of Hunan Provincial Education Department, China Received date: ; Accepted date: Corresponding author: WANG Xian you, Professor, PhD; Tel: ; Fax: ; E mail: wxianyou@yahoo.com
2 1797 ab inito total energy and molecular dynamics program VASP (Vienna ab initio simulation program) developed at the Institut Für Materialphysik of the Universität Wien [16 19]. The projector augmented plane wave pseudopotentials were built within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) scheme. The exchangecorrection energy of Perdew Burke Ernzerhof (PBE) scheme was used for all of the calculations. A kinetic cutoff energy of 400 ev for the plane waves has been performed. Brillouin Zone integrations were performed using Monkhorst and Pack k point mesh. The k point grids for V 3 P, V 2 P, VP, VP 2 and VP 4 were 3 3 5, 4 8 3, 9 9 4, and , respectively. For the calculation of the electronic density of states, the Table 1 Crystallographic data of V P compounds tetrahedron method with Bloch corrections was used with , , , , for V 3 P, V 2 P, VP, VP 2 and VP 4, respectively. All structure relaxations were preformed with the Quasi Newton (QN) algorithm until the forces on the atoms converged to less than 0.01 ev/å. A spin restricted approach was used for models of V P compounds because polarization effects were found to be negligible. Cohesive energy is an important parameter to assess the stability of V P alloys, and cohesive energy is often defined as the work which is needed when crystal is decomposed into a single atom. Hence, the more negative the cohesive energy value, the more stable the crystal structure [20]. In order to obtain cohesive energy Compound Crystal system Pearson symbol Atom numbers Space group V 3 P [11] Tetragonal tp32 32 P42/nZ V 2 P [12] Orthorhombic op12 12 Pnma VP [13] Hexagonal hp4 4 P63/mmc VP 2 [14] Monoclinic ms12 6 C12/m1 VP 4 [15] Monoclinic ms20 10 C12/c1 Fig. 1 Crystal structures of V P compounds: (a) V 3 P; (b) V 2 P; (c) VP; (d) VP 2 ; (e) VP 4
3 1798 value correctly, the total energy for the crystal and the free atoms are calculated based on a cubic supercell that contains relative atoms. The cubic supercell has the lattice constant of 15 Å. The cohesive energy of V P alloys according to the following formula [21 22] is calculated as E coh 1 V a P b V P tot ae atom be atom = ( E a + b ) V P a b where E tot is the electronic total energy of primitive V P cell of V a P b, E atom and E atom are the electronic total energies of the isolated V atom and P atom in freedom states, and a and b refer to the numbers of the V atom and P atom of V a P b units contained in conventional cell, respectively. 3 Results and discussion 3.1 Structural properties and stability of crystal The crystal structures of V P compounds studied in this work are built based on experimental results. The calculated results and experimental data have both been tabulated in Table 2. It can be seen from Table 2 that for the V P compounds, the discrepancy is less than 1.5% and the optimized structures are in good agreement with experimental values.

Since E coh values of all V P compounds are negative, it implies that there is strong V P bond between V and P atoms. Besides, it Fig. 2 Calculated zero temperature cohesive energy of V P compounds can be concluded from Fig. 2 that the metal rich compounds are considerably more stable than the phosphorus rich compositions. 3.2 Electronic structure and bonding mechanism in V P compounds In order to insight into the bonding mechanism in V P compounds, the total density of states (TDOS) and the partial density of states (PDOS) of V 3 P, V 2 P, VP, VP 2 and VP 4 primitive cells are calculated. The density of states in V P compounds are shown in Fig. 3. Zero of x axis corresponds to Fermi level. Top panels are for TDOS and the two lower panels are for PDOS. It can be found from the Fermi level that V P compounds are all metallic characters. For V P compounds, V 3 P compound is considered as a typical example. The valence band can be divided into two energy areas according to the PDOS. One is from 15 ev to 10 ev, which mainly has a strong P 3s character; the other is from 7.5 ev to Fermi level, which mainly has V 3d character and P 3p character. The valence band located between 7.5 ev and Fermi level is because a strong bonding possesses the characteristic of significant p d hybridization between V 3d and P 3p states. Analysis of the total density of states (DOS) for V 3 P, V 2 P, VP, VP 2 and VP 4 was performed in the energy range between 7.5 ev and 0 ev. Figure 4 shows the bonding electron numbers per atom of V P compounds. It is evident from the above results that the numbers of bonding electron shift to lower value with increasing P element in crystal. When bonding electron numbers decrease, the interaction between valence electron of crystal is impaired, so the stability of crystal structure will become worse. Hence, V 3 P phase has the highest structural stability, while VP 4

5 1800 Fig. 4 Calculated bonding electrons per atom of V P compounds phase has the lowest structural stability. To further discuss the bonding nature in V P compounds, the valence electron density of distribution was plotted and analyzed. The (010) or (001) planes with the valence electron density distribution for V P compounds are shown in Fig. 5. The remarkable charge distribution overlap between V and P atoms is observed. Apparently, the feature of covalent bond emerges between V and P atoms of V 3 P, V 2 P, VP, VP 2 and VP 4. The charge density overlapping between V and P atoms is reduced with the increase of P element content. This result is in a good agreement with the density of states (DOS) and bonding electron number discussed above.

6 Conclusions 1) Metal rich compounds are considerably more stable than the phosphorus rich compositions, and the V 3 P compound has the highest structural stability. The decrease of the structural stability of V P compounds with the increase of P element is attributed to a decrease in the bonding electron numbers at lower energy level below Fermi level. 2) The electronic structures of V P compounds (V 3 P, V 2 P, VP, VP 2 and VP 4 ) investigated with density functional theory show metallic character. 3) Covalent bond exists between the V and P atoms of V 3 P, V 2 P, VP, VP 2 and VP 4.
