Abstract:Multi-electron cathodes are an exciting class of energy storage materials that can intercalate more than one alkali-ion per transition metal. One such case, nano-sized ε-VOPO4 can intercalate two Li-ions to obtain the theoretical capacity of 305 mAh g−1, despite its inherently poor ionic and electronic conductivity. While carbon additives can compensate for cathode material’s poor conductivity, the type of carbon additive can play a key role in achieving full theoretical capacity of ε-VOPO4. Here, we explore t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
