Abstract

Vanadium oxide-based nanomaterials have been showing great promise as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Among these, nanostructured \(\hbox {V}_{2}\hbox {O}_{5}\) shows a high discharge capacity due to its layer structure and thermodynamically stable form. This work reports the synthesis of \(\hbox {V}_{2}\hbox {O}_{5 }\) nanoparticles via a simple low temperature hydrothermal method using ammonium vanadate and quinol. The reduced size of \(\hbox {V}_{2}\hbox {O}_{5 }\) has resulted in the blue shift of the absorption spectrum. The material has been examined as a cathode material to study lithium intercalation/deintercalation. It shows an initial discharge capacity of \(310 \hbox { mAh } \hbox {g}^{-1}\) at a current density of \(0.1 \hbox { mA } \hbox {g}^{-1}\) at 1.5–4 V and retains a specific discharge capacity of \(184 \hbox { mAh } \hbox {g}^{-1}\) even after 58 cycles. The present study manifests how the nanostructured size \(\hbox {V}_{2}\hbox {O}_{5}\) could be applied as a high-energy cathode material for LIBs.
