The electrons bound to an oxygen ion in the local Li-excess environments areenergetically less stable than electrons bound to the other types of oxygen ions.

• HSE mixing parameters can be adjusted for oxides to experimental band gaps.[S. Han et al., Curr. Appl. Phys. 11 S337 (2011)]
• Density of State (DOS) of transition monoxides with HSE06 and optimal mixingparameters are in better agreement with experimental results than those withGGA and GGA+U.
• G0W0@GGA+U band gaps agree well with experimental values, suggestingthat it can be used as a reference in cases when no experimental band gap hasbeen reported.
