Abstract:
|
Hydrated vanadium pentoxide (V2O5•0.44H2O, HVO) nanobelts were synthesized by a simply high-yield
(e.g. up to ~99%) hydrothermal approach. The length of these nanobelts was up to several
hundred micrometers while the diameter was only ~20 nm and the thickness was ~10 nm. Binderfree
bulky papers were prepared by using these HVO nanobelts and were tested as Li ion battery
cathodes. The unique architecture of the HVO bulky paper provides hierarchical porous channels and
large specific surface area, which facilitate fast ion diffusion and effectively strain relaxation upon
charge-discharge cycling. The electrochemical tests revealed that the flexible HVO cathode could
deliver high reversible specific capacities with ~100% Coulombic efficiency, especially at high C
rates. For example, it achieved a reversible capacity of 163 mAh g^-1 at 6.8 C. |
