Additive-free synthesis of V4O7 hierarchical structures as high performance cathodes for lithium ion batteries†‡
Abstract
Vanadium oxide (VOx) hierarchical structures were controllably synthesized through a solvothermal method in water–ethylene glycol (EG) mixed media. A V4O7 “nanocross” structure is first reported and observed to exhibit exceptional cycling stability at 0.05 A g−1 and 3.05 A g−1, which could be a promising cathode candidate for lithium ion batteries.
