Abstract

Electrochemical lithium intercalation is observed in LixEuTa7O19 with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1; the voltage profiles show a 4f6/4f7 Eu3+/Eu2+ redox plateau at 1.85 V versus Li+/Li0. The shift of 1 V in the Eu3+/Eu2+ redox plateau relative to that found in the layered perovskite LiEuTiO4 (0.85 V versus Li+/Li0) can be attributed to a capacitance energy stored in the three parallel planes (Eu2O2)2+-(TiO2)0-(Li2O2)2- in LiEuTiO4. Optical measurements show that the energy gaps between the Eu: 4f6 and O:2p6 band edges for LiEuTiO4 and EuTa7O19 are 3.86 and 3.94 eV, respectively.
