Synthesis of V₆O₁₃ Flowers-Like with Control pH for Li-Ion Battery Cathodes

Abstract:

To improve electrochemical performance of Li ion battery , we synthesis flower-like V₆O₁₃ in oxalic acid solvent with HCl. The composition and morphology of the V₆O₁₃ were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements, respectively. The synthesized flowers-like V₆O₁₃ are less than 600nm in the width of the ribbon and have purity phase of the V₆O₁₃.The electrochemical performance of the flowers-like V₆O₁₃ were characterized by charge and discharge performance, EIS and CV. The flowers-like V₆O₁₃ exhibited high electrochemical performance.
