The presence of oxygen vacancies has positive effects on the electrochemical properties of V2O5 nanocrystals, leading to higher initial discharge capacity, excellent rate capability, and cycling stability. A simple way to improve the rate capability and cycling stability of V2O5 nanocrystals for high-performance LIB applications is through the combination of nanoscale dimensions and oxygen vacancies.
Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is regarded as a promising cathode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this study, V2O5 nanocrystals with an elongated plate-like morphology are prepared via a chemical solution approach that involves the hydrolyzation of vanadyl sulfate in alkaline solution. Oxygen vacancies are intentionally created by thermal treating the V2O5 samples under hydrogen-containing gases at different temperatures. Although the annealing process does not change the shape, morphology and crystalline structure of V2O5 nanocrystals, it does bring about a small amount of oxygen vacancies, as evidently from the results of XRD patterns and Raman spectra. The presence of oxygen vacancies has positive effects on the electrochemical properties. A higher initial discharge capacity, and excellent rate capability and cycling stability are observed on the oxygen vacancy-containing V2O5 samples. Especially, the sample annealed at 350 degrees C is found to have an initial capacity of 284 mAh g(-1) and the capacity still maintains at about 153 mAh g(-1) even at 10 C. The combination of nanoscale dimension and oxygen vacancies in V2O5 nanocrystals presents a simple way to improve their rate capability and cycling stability for potential highperformance LIB applications.
