Sol–gel synthesis and electrochemical properties of CuV2O6 cathode material

Crystallized Zn3(VO4)2: Synthesis, characterization and optical property

“…During the past few years, vanadium oxides based materials have attracted much attention due to their fascinating structures and electronic, optical, and magnetic properties, which are relevant to such diverse areas as lubrication, chemical sensor, catalysis, cathode materials in batteries, and minerals [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Stimulated by those applications, much work has been done on the synthesis and characterization of various vanadium compounds such as LiV 3 O 8 [7], CuV 2 O 6 [8], and nickel(II) hybrid vanadates [9]. Zn 3 (VO 4 ) 2 has an interesting crystal structure that is of porous framework.…”

Molten salt synthesis and characterization of large size β-Mn2V2O7 with single crystal character

“…In recent years, transition metal vanadates materials have been inclusively researched on its electrical, magnetic and optical properties [1][2][3][4][5]. As a kind of low-dimensional magnetic materials, Mn 2 V 2 O 7 has been receiving more and more attention in solid-state chemistry and physics [6][7][8].…”

Synthesis and electrochemical performance of cable-like copper vanadates/polypyrrole nanobelts as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries

“…Among the copper vanadates, CuV 2 O 6 has been investigated by many researchers as cathode materials for LIBs owing to their layered nature, however it delivers an unstable cycling performance with low capacity when it used as cathode material for LIBs [11][12][13][14]. Kin et al reported CuV 2 O 6 could deliver an initial discharge capacity of 379 mAh g −1 in the potential region of 1.5-4.0 V, which decreased to 160 mAh g −1 after 30 cycles [11].…”

“…Kin et al reported CuV 2 O 6 could deliver an initial discharge capacity of 379 mAh g −1 in the potential region of 1.5-4.0 V, which decreased to 160 mAh g −1 after 30 cycles [11]. Cao et al reported the initial capacity of CuV 2 O 6 obtained by citrate sol-gel route was 403 mAh g −1 and about 150 mAh g −1 was maintained after 30 cycles in the potential region of 1.5-3.6 V [12]. The large volume expansion during the cycling process and the low conductivity leads to fast capacity fade and poor cycling performance, which limit their application in LIBs.…”
