Preparation of V2O3 Hollow Spheres for Lithium Sulfur Batteries †

doi:10.7503/cjcu20190083

Abstract

Abstract:

The prepared V₂O₅ hollow spheres were reduced to V₂O₃ hollow spheres with the assistance of NH₃ at high temperature. The morphology and structure of the V₂O₃ hollow spheres were characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), powder X-ray diffraction(XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The powder of V₂O₃ hollow spheres and sulfur was mixed directly without further thermal treatment and the mixture was used as the cathode of lithium-sulfur batteries. The electrochemical test show that the initial capacity reaches 1375 mA·h/g and the capacity after 100 cycles is 815 mA·h/g at 0.2C; even at 1C, the initial capacity reaches 710 mA·h/g and the capacity after 500 cycles is 530 mA·h/g. The results indicate that the addition of V₂O₃ hollow sphere in the lithium sulfur battery can effectively improve the cycle performance.
