Abstract
V2O5 cathode materials suffer from sluggish Li+ diffusion kinetics and insufficient structural stability. In the present study, lamellar structure Co-doped V2O5 was synthesized by hydrothermal method to enhance its ion transport rate and cycling stability. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that Co ions successfully entered the lattice of V2O5, leading to lattice expansion. Analysis of the N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms revealed that the doping of moderate amount of Co favored the increase of specific surface area of V2O5. The doping of Co also induced the formation of oxygen vacancies, which would provide more active sites for Li+ intercalation/extraction reactions. The cycling and rate performances of the V2O5 samples were significantly enhanced at 1.25 % Co doping (denoted as CoVO-1) compared to the undoped V2O5 samples. A high reversible specific capacity of 270.9 mAh·g−1 was provided in a voltage window of 2.0–4.0 V at a current density of 300 mA·g−1, and the capacity retention was still 81.4 % after 100 cycles. When the current density was increased to 1500 mA·g−1, the discharge specific reversible specific capacity was still 113.3 mAh·g−1. The improved electrochemical performances of CoVO-1 are mainly attributed to the lattice expansion after doping, the presence of oxygen vacancies leading to the increase of Li+ diffusion coefficients, meanwhile, the porous layered structure formed has better structural stability.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
