Journal of Electrochemistry

Li3V2(PO4)3/C was synthesized by sol-gel method with citric acid as chelate and C sources.Physical and electrochemical performances of as-prepared materials were characterized through XRD,SEM and galvanostatic charge-discharge tests,etc.The results showed that products produced by calcining at 800 ℃ for 12 h had a single phase crystal structure and relatively small particle sizes with uniform distribution.At 0.1 C,0.5 C and 1 C,the initial specific discharge capacities were 153.0,143.1 and 130.6 mAh·g-1,respectively,and capacity efficiencies were 93.1%,85.4% and 77.3% after 50 cycles,respectively.Charge efficiencies were all above 80% and discharge voltages were higher.

The monoclinic Li3V2(PO4)3 cathode materials were prepared by carbothermal reduction method,with methyl cellulose,chitosan(crab shells) or glucose anhydrous as carbon sources,respectively.The crystal structures,morphologies and the electrochemical performances were characterized by XRD,SEM and electrochemical measurement.The XRD patterns show that the samples obtained at 800 ℃ for 6 h have a pure monoclinic structure,which indicates that the carbon exists in amorphous phase.Electrochemical measurements show that the difference of carbon sources has a significant influence on the electrochemical properties of the materials.The Li3V2(PO4)3 /C with methyl cellulose as the reduction agent has the best electrochemical performance.In the voltage range of 3.0 ~ 4.5 V …
