Carbon nanotubes/vanadium oxide composites as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries
Source abstract
Abstract
The carbon nanotubes/vanadium oxide composites have been prepared through a facile hydrothermal method. Morphology features of the samples are investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscope. Raman and X-ray diffraction patterns confirm the formation of phase structure. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to quantify the content of carbon nanotube in the composites. When used as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, the composites exhibit improved electrochemical performance compared to electrode materials free of carbon nanotubes. V2O5/carbon nanotubes can deliver a good capacity of 196.8 mA h g−1 at a current density of 100 mA g−1 after 50 cycles. However, the electrode materials free of carbon nanotubes (V2O5) can reach a capacity of 171 mA h g−1 at the same conditions. Moreover, V2O5/carbon nanotubes present a higher capacity than that of V2O5 under the same rate conditions. The improved electrochemical performance can be attributed to the fact that the carbon nanotubes in the V2O5/carbon nanotube composites can effectively facilitate ionic diffusion by raising the electrical conductivity.
