The BCS-BEC crossover and phase diagram for asymmetric nuclear superfluid with pairings in isospin I = 0 and I = 1 channels are investigated at mean field level, by using a density dependent nucleon-nucleon potential. Induced by the in-medium nucleon mass and density dependent coupling constants, neutron-proton Cooper pairs could be in BEC state at sufficiently low density, but there is no chance for the BEC formation of neutron-neutron and proton-proton pairs at any density and asymmetry. We calculate the phase diagram in asymmetry-temperature plane for weakly interacting nuclear superfluid, and find that including the I = 1 channel changes significantly the phase structure at low temperature. There appears a new phase with both I = 0 and I = 1 pairings at low temperature and low asymmetry, and the gapless state in any phase with I = 1 pairing is washed out and all excited nucleons are fully gapped.
