High pressure studies of BiI 3 at 0 K are performed using first-principles pseudopotential calculations within the framework of density functional theory. The calculations indicate that BiI 3 undergoes a structural transition from rhombohedral R-3 phase to monoclinic P2 1/c phase at 7 GPa which is accompanied by a 5.8% volume collapse. In addition, we find that P2 1/c phase prevails about 60 GPa range and transforms to cubic Fm-3m phase at 68 GPa, and finally takes the orthorhombic Pnma phase at high pressures up to 133 GPa. The structural and electronic properties of four competitive structures are also calculated. The analysis of density of states reveals that BiI 3 has semiconductor-metal transition at about 61 GPa, which also demonstrates the metallic nature of both Fm-3m and Pnma phases.

Abstract Alloy-type anodes materials possess broad prospects for excellent electrochemical property lithium-ion batteries owing to its high theoretical capacity and excellent electronic conductivity. However, this type electrode materials experience poor kinetics and tremendous volume collapse during the repeated lithiation-delithiation process. Herein, an efficient method to provide a fast transmission channel and suppress the volume collapse during the discharge/charge process by constructing the heterostructure between porous TiO2-B nanoblets and few-layer SnS2 nanosheets interface, which provides high-active sites for the nucleation and growth of SnS2 nanosheets, and inhibits the agglomeration of SnS2 nanosheets. Both experimental results and theoretical calculations definite that porous TiO2 nanobelts provides more chemical active sites for the adsorption and transmission of lithium ion and then effectively improve the stability the electrode structure. As a result, TiO2-B@SnS2 hybrid exhibits excellent rate and cycle performance. This work paves a way to design and construction of high performance alloy-type anode materials.

The structural properties of rare earth compound in NaCl-structure are studied in the present investigation. To study these properties of erbium telluride (ErTe), the Realistic Interaction Potential Approach (RIPA) model has been used. Present compound shows NaCl-type to CsCl-type structural phase transformation. The structural properties, including phase transition pressure and volume collapse are obtained and compared with available literature. The calculated equilibrium structural parameters are in good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical results. Further more to study the electronic properties, band structure and density of state are reported.
