Li9V3(P2O7)3(PO4)2 nanotubes fabricated by a simple molten salt approach with excellent cycling stability and enhanced rate capability in lithium-ion batteries†
Abstract
Li9V3(P2O7)3(PO4)2 nanotubes were prepared on large scale by a simple molten salt route without the use of a surfactant as a template and the nanotubes exhibited excellent cycling stability in addition to enhanced rate capability as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
