V2O5 electrode materials structure

Among the transition metal oxides, mention should also be made of the vanadium oxides, the most studied as positive electrode materials being V2O5, V Oii, and LiV30g, which insert lithium in the potential domain of 3 V vs. Li/Li+. For the vanadium oxides, too, doping and suitable structure have been shown to improve their electrochemical performance, and recently a sol-gel process has yielded high-capacity (500-600 Ah kg ) materials delivering 500 Wh kg at 4 mA cm" [137]. 

V2O5 is a solid-state compound with many catalytic and electronic uses including an electrode material for rechargeable lithium batteries. Its structure [60] is... 

V2O5 would be an attractive positive electrode material since it can achieve a high energy density for lithium-ion batteries. Due to its layered structure, it... 

This chapter provides the relationships between structural and electrochemical properties of lamellar compounds the 3d-transition metal oxides currently studied as for their potential use in LiBs. First, we examine briefly three binary layered oxides, M0O3, V2O5, and LiVsOg which were proposed as intercalation compounds since at the end of 1970s. Then, the ternary layered oxides are considered. Starting from the historical and prototype compound LiCo02, which is the dominant positive electrode material employed by all Li-ion cell manufacturers so far, we state the broad family of layered oxides such as LiM Oy and their derivatives the...
