Abstract
Zinc ion battery (ZIB) is becoming a research hotspot because of its high safety, low cost and environmental protection, and will become a promising new energy storage device. Vanadium-based compounds are widely investigated as positive materials because of their multivalency, rich crystal structure and high specific capacity. In this work, three vanadium-based compounds V2O5, V2O3 and VN samples are prepared by hydrothermal and solid-phase synthesis methods. The phase structure and purity of synthetic materials are demonstrated X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Morphology characterization shows that V2O5, V2O3 and VN samples have nanosheets, nanoflakes and nanoparticles structures, respectively. In addition, the electrochemical properties of V2O5, V2O3 and VN samples in ZIBs are systematically investigation. These three vanadium-based compounds all have great cycle stability and high-rate capabilities. This work provides guidance for the development of novel vanadium-based electrode materials and paves the way for the development of zinc ion storage.
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.
