Synthesis, Characterization, Electrochemical, and Spectroelectrochemical Studies of an N-Cetyl-trimethylammonium Bromide/V₂O₅ Nanocomposite

Abstract

Complex structures based on “host−guest” systems make possible the development of new materials with promising technological applications. In this work, we synthesized a V2O5·nH2O/surfactant (N-cetyl-N,N,N,-trimethylammonium bromide) composite that presented an improved charge capacity and stability on electrochemical response in relation with a V2O5·1.9H2O matrix. CTA+ intercalated into the V2O5 lamellar structure favors the kinetics of VIV/VV solid-state redox transitions. Moreover, the spectroelectrochemical behavior was verified even after several successive redox cycles.

The Influence of Intercalated Ions on Cyclic Stability of V2o5/Graphite Composite in Aqueous Electrolytic Solutions: Experimental and Theoretical Approach

“…1b) of V 2 O 5 Â 0.4H 2 O/C composite confirmed the amorphous structure of V 2 O 5 , or more precisely, the existence of only-short range ordering. Namely, the reflection lines correspond to those of V 2 O 5 Â nH 2 O xerogel [24,36,37], with the exception of the line placed at 2u % 26 , which belongs to graphite.…”
