[ 9,[14][15][16] To address these intrinsic drawbacks, an effective strategy was adopted to decrease the active materials to nanoscale level, such as nanowires, [ 17 ] nanorods, [ 18 ] nanobelts, [ 19 ] and nanospheres, [ 20,21 ] which can shorten the transport lengths both for electrons and Li ions, minimize the effect of the low ionic diffusivity, and better accommodate the strain of Li ions intercalation/deintercalation in active materials. Moreover, these V 2 O 5 nanostructures were also integrated with conductive carbon nanostructures, such as carbon nanotube [ 22,23 ] and graphene, [ 14,24,25 ] which can not only further enhance the electrical conductivity of V 2 O 5 active material, but also help to prevent nanostructured V 2 O 5 active materials from agglomeration during cycling. Generally, the electrode is always prepared by mixing together active material, conductive agent, and polymer binder. Due to the nonuniform mixing process, some disadvantage voids can be found in the fi nal prepared electrode, and the active material can easily lose electrical contact with the conductive agent or metal current collector during cycling, resulting in incomplete electrochemical reaction and presenting capacity gradually fading. [ 26 ] Considering these disadvantages, the multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with good electrical conductivity have been utilized to construct a binder-free layer-by-layer V 2 O 5 nanosphere (VOP)/MWCNT nanoarchitecture. In our proposed nanoarchitecture, the VOPs were modifi ed by positive charges and MWCNTs were terminated with negative charges. Then, we have stratifi ed the VOP and MWCNT layers from each other
