The V 2 O 5 /Ca 0.17 V 2 O 5 film electrodes on indiumdoped tin oxide (ITO) conductive glasses were synthesized by a low-temperature liquid-phase deposition method and thermal treatment. The deposited film electrodes were directly used as cathodes for sodium-ion batteries without additional media. X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy results demonstrated that V 2 O 5 /Ca 0.17 V 2 O 5 films were successfully formed. The ions diffusion, electrode reaction kinetics, capacity, and cyclic performance were revealed by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements. The V 2 O 5 /Ca 0.17 V 2 O 5 film delivered a discharge capacity of 148.465 mAh m −2 at 1 C rate, which was larger than 100.086 mAh m −2 of the pure V 2 O 5 film. Moreover, the V 2 O 5 /Ca 0.17 V 2 O 5 film exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 144.712 mAh m −2 (90.11% retained after 100 cycles) at a 1 C rate and 112.525 mAh m −2 (103.91% retained after 100 cycles) at a 2 C rate. Encouragingly, the rate performance was worthy of mention, which indicated a good reversibility. The impressive electrochemical ability could be attributed to the synergistic effect of two phases. The ex-situ X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results proved that the Ca 0.17 V 2 O 5 supported the stability of the structure, and the V 2 O 5 phase acted as a host material for ions insertion/extraction. This work may provide a promising strategy for developing high-performance electrode materials.
