The electronic structure and diffusion barriers of lithium ions in pure LiFePO₄ and doped LiFe_1-xMo_xPO₄(x=0.005, 0.01, 0.015, 0.02, and 0.025) have been calculated based on the first-principle density functional theory (DFT). The calculated results show that the LiFe_0.99Mo_0.01PO₄ has the largest interplanar distance of (101) crystal plane, suggesting the widest Li ion diffusion pathway in [010] direction. Pure LiFePO₄ has diffusion energy barrier of 4.289 eV for lithium ions, while the LiFe_0.99Mo_0.01PO₄ has lower diffusion energy barrier of 4.274 eV. The calculated diffusion coefficient of LiFe_0.99Mo_0.01PO₄ is 1.79 times as large as that of pure LiFePO₄, indicating that Mo doping is beneficial to lithium ion diffusivity of LiFePO₄. The intensity of the partial density of states (PDOS) near the bottom of conduction bands (CBs) becomes stronger after doping with Mo. According to the analysis above, Mo doping is beneficial to improve the electronic conductivity and lithium ion diffusivity of LiFePO₄. Lithium ion diffusivity plays more important roles than electronic conductivity on improving the electrochemical performance of LiFePO₄ by doping with Mo.
