A hybrid of V2O5 nanowires and MWCNTs coated with polypyrrole as an anode material for aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries with excellent cycling performance

A hybrid of V2O5 nanowires and MWCNTs coated with polypyrrole (PPy) was prepared as an anode material for ARLBs. The hybrid shows a good electrochemical reversibility since the PPy coating can effectively prevent the dissolution of the reduced vanadium ions.
