Highly entangled carbon nanoflakes on Li3V2(PO4)3 microrods for improved lithium storage performance†
Abstract
An Li3V2(PO4)3/C micro-nano composite is prepared via a facile carbothermal reaction which features porous carbon nanoflakes three-dimensionally entangled on single-crystalline Li3V2(PO4)3 microrods. Such a composite shows improved electrochemical performances, benefiting from its novel hierarchical mesoporous–macroporous structure together with exceptional high tap density.
