A new lithium containing hybrid inorganic-organic open framework material, Li-2(VO)(2)(HPO4)(2)(C2O4), has been synthesized and its reversible lithium storage has been investigated. Firstly, the hydrated phase Li-2(VO)(2)(HPO4)(2)(C2O4)center dot 6H(2)O (1) was obtained via a hydrothermal route at 120 degrees C which on dehydration yielded the anhydrous phase. The crystal structure of 1 was solved and refined from its powder X-ray diffraction data and optimized by DFT calculations. The presence of extractable lithium ions in the inter-layer space together with the feasibility of the V4+/5+ redox couple make this compound suitable for cathode applications in Li-ion batteries. Electrochemical properties of this material were studied using galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and ex situ XRD studies. The material exhibits reversible lithium insertion/extraction during cycling.
