Synthesis of Cu0.1-doped vanadium oxide nanotubes and their application as cathode materials for rechargeable magnesium batteries

The electronic conductivity of Cu-0.1-doped VOx-NTs is up to magnitude higher than that of the undoped material. Doped vanadium oxide nanotubes also exhibit significantly improved kinetic behavior and rate capability. Cu-0.1-doped VOx-NTs present good electrochemical behaviors at 10 mA/g discharge current density with initial specific capacity 120.2 mAh/g. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
