Vanadyl Pyrophosphate Unit Cell<br />

Vacancy Model - Loss <strong>of</strong> PO 2 +<br />

• Deactivation <strong>of</strong> (VO) 2P 2O 7 corresponds <strong>to</strong> loss <strong>of</strong> PO 2 +<br />

• Experimental evidence <strong>of</strong> these defects by XPS <strong>and</strong> UV-visible<br />

spectroscopy<br />

• Computation can be used <strong>to</strong> verify detailed crystal structure <strong>of</strong><br />

deactivated material<br />

• Future: Can we determine the mechanism <strong>and</strong> how <strong>to</strong> prevent it?
