Abstract:

The new cathode material Li0.86V0.8O2 was synthesized by two-steps reaction. The material crystallizes in the layered rhombohedral structure with space group R3m. The mechanism of phase evolution was studied in different alkalinity under hydrothermal condition. It is found that the hydrothermal reaction does not work in low LiOH·H2O concentration. The single phase material of Li0.86V0.8O2 can only be obtained in the concentration of 2.5 mol/L. Through X-ray photoemission spectrum, the binding of 516.4 and 523.1 eV can be attributed to the V2p3/24+ and V2p1/24+, which confirm the quadrivalent state of V ion in Li0.86V0.8O2. With a current density of 7.4 mA/g, the charge capacity of Li0.86V0.8O2 is 163 mA·h/g in the first cycle, and the first discharge capacity of the materials is 113 mA·h/g. After 20th cycles, the discharge capacity is still 80 mA·h/g, which shows good electrochemicalstability.
