Hydrogen reduced sodium vanadate nanowire arrays as electrode material of lithium-ion battery

Abstract

Vanadates and vanadium oxides are potential lithiumion electrode materials because of their easy preparation and high capacity properties. This paper reports the electrochemical lithium-storage performance of VO₂ and NaV₂O₅ composite nanowire arrays. Firstly, Na₅V₁₂O₃₂ nanowire arrays are fabricated by a hydrothermal method, and then VO₂ and NaV₂O₅ composite nanowire arrays are prepared by a reduction reaction of Na₅V₁₂O₃₂ nanowire arrays in hydrogen atmosphere. Crystal structure, chemical composition and morphology of the prepared samples are characterized in detail. The obtained composite is used as an electrode of a lithium-ion battery, which exhibits high reversible capacity and good cycle stability. The composite obtained at 500 °C presents a specific discharge capacity up to 345.1 mA × h/g after 50 cycles at a current density of 30 mA/g.
