Fig. 2: Electronic structure and properties of TPHP(LiClO4).

a Charge density difference plots for TPHP(LiClO4). The isosurface value was set to be 0.04 e Å−3, the charge accumulated and depleted regions were shown in yellow and purple, respectively, clearly showing the electron transfer from ClO3− to TPHP. b, c Calculated density of states (DOS) of TPHP (b) and TPHP(LiClO4) (c), in which the HOMO level was set to be aligned with WF. d Calculated local DOS (LDOS) of 2LiClO3 (green line) and TPHP (blue line) in TPHP(LiClO4). e Energy level alignment of TPHP (left) and TPHP(LiClO4) (right). EA, Eg, IE and EVAC represent electron affinity, bandgap, ionization energy and vacuum energy level, respectively. The Li+/TPHP mole ratio is 2:1 for TPHP(LiClO4) in a–e. f Dependence of electrical conductivity and WF of TPHP(LiClO4) on the concentration of LiClO4 in TPHP. The electrical conductivities of TPHP(LiClO4) were obtained based on impedance measurements (Supplementary Fig. 5b, c) and those of TPHP were measured using a high resistance meter.
