abstract = {Replication Data for: Decoding the AlPO4 and LATP surface
with a combined NMR-DFT approach Supporting experimental and
DFT data for the publication. In the accompanying
publication, we combine advanced nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) experiments and density functional theory (DFT)
simulations to study AlPO4 as a model for the surface of the
well-known solid ion conductor Li1+xAlxTi2-x(PO4)3 with 0.3
≤ x ≤ 0.5 (LATP), which is a promising candidate for the
ceramic component of a hybrid electrolyte. By combining the
multi-nuclei NMR techniques cross-polarization (CP) and
transfer of populations in double resonance (TRAPDOR) on
AlPO4 powder with DFT calculations of NMR observables for a
variety of surface models, the surface structure of
commercial AlPO4 is elucidated. It is shown that even after
extended drying, the surface of AlPO4 is hydroxylated with a
TRAPDOR-estimated 1H-27Al quadrupolar coupling constant, CQ,
of 5.8 ± 0.9 MHz. The joint theoretical--experimental
approach also enables first insights into the bonding motifs
of organic entities on functionalized AlPO4 surfaces as a
model for the LATP surfaces, which confirm surface
interactions and the presence of silane on both
functionalized AlPO4 and LATP. We demonstrate that
observables, that are experimentally as well as
theoretically accessible, provide information on interfacial
bonding motifs, interatomic distances, and interactions,
surpassing the capabilities of either NMR or DFT techniques
alone. The dataset contains the experimental NMR and EDX
data as well as the atomistic structure models and the
corresponding DFT simulations of NMR observables. 1H, 6Li,
31P, and 27Al NMR measurements were conducted on a Bruker
Avance III HD spectrometer with a 9.4 T magnet. A 3.2 mm
triple resonance H/X/Y CPMAS probe was used for all samples.
All measurements took place with a probe temperature of 20
°C. The working frequencies were 400.2 MHz for 1H, 58.9 MHz
for 6Li, 162.0 MHz for 31P, and 104.3 MHz for 27Al. No
decoupling was used in the pulse sequence. The samples were
measured at a spinning frequency of 20 kHz if not stated
differently. The EDX measurements were conducted on a Quanta
FEG 650 scanning electron microscope (FEI), equipped with
additional energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy equipment
(SEM-EDX). An Everhard Thornley detector was used to detect
the secondary electrons. DFT calculations were conducted
using the plane wave, pseudopotential electronic structure
code CASTEP v.23. In this work, the C19 family of
pseudopotentials was used that, in the case of Al and P,
treats the 3s and 3p electrons explicitly. The
Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange correlation functional
was employed for all the calculations. NMR observables were
calculated with the GIPAW method as implemented in CASTEP
v.23 with on-the-fly generated GIPAW pseudopotentials. For
further details, please refer to the related open source
publication and Supplementary Information. Please, switch to
Tree View for the folder structure. The folder NMR contains
the primary NMR data as Bruker files $NMR/Bruker_files$ as
well as the analyzed, secondary data NMR/Analysis in
comma-separated CSV format, which is the basis for the
figures in the related publication. The first line in the
CSV files defines the parameter, the second the
corresponding unit.
$NMR/Analysis/MAS_NMR_AlPO4_drying_series/Individual_fits_AlPO4_drying_series$
also includes the fitting parameters for the pseudo-Voigt
fits of the 1H and 27Al NMR measurements of commercial AlPO4
as well as dried AlPO4 samples with different drying times.
The first row represents the drying time and the
corresponding errors, while the fitting parameters are
specified in the first column. 31P MAS NMR spectra without
CP were normalized by dividing the signal intensity by the
respective absolute integral, while 27Al MAS NMR spectra
were normalized by dividing by the respective total integral
and 1H MAS NMR spectra were divided by the rotor content
mass. 31P{1H} CP spectra were normalized to the maximum
intensity. The TRAPDOR raw data is provided with the
frequency offset O2 as a file title, for example the file
name $'minus_2_0_MHz'$ corresponds to O2 = -2.0 MHz. The
TRAPDOR pulse program was kindly provided by former
colleagues of the authors from the Lab of Prof. Clare Grey.
