Using a novel electrodeposition/thermal process, V6O13+y, 0 < y < 2, bronzes were directly fabricated into a coin cell without the use of binders or electronic conductors. Transport properties of Li insertion and removal from V2O5 and non-stoichiometric V6O13+y bronzes, were examined by electrochemical methods in asymmetrical Li/LixV6O13+y cells. Diffusion coefficients in the range 0.2–5.0 x 10−8cm2/s were found for insertion and removal steps in the range, x = 0 to 1.0. The transport of Li ions from the vanadium oxides was similar to the insertion process.
