Influence of Heating Temperature on Structure, Morphology and Electrochemical Performance of LiV₃O₈ Cathode for Lithium-Ion Batteries Application

Abstract:

LiV₃O₈ layered structure was successfully synthesized by a conventional solid-state approach and subsequent heat-treated at 400, 450, 500 and 550 oC. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, BET. Electrochemical performance of LiV₃O₈ was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge. The results showed that high purity of LiV₃O₈ with layered structure was formed. The morphology of the samples were mixed between nanorods and nanosheets structure. For electrochemical performance, results showed that LiV₃O₈ heat-treated at 500 oC performed a highest charge and discharge capacity of 212 and 172 mAh g^-1, respectively. From electrochemical performance results made them a good candidate for cathode material for lithium-ion batteries application.
