Abstract

Bismuth vanadate is considered to be a potential lithium-ion storage electrode material due to its high theoretical capacity and low theoretical platform. In this paper, BiVO4/carbon nanotubes (BiVO4/CNTs) composites were synthesized by a simple mixed solvothermal method. The performances of BiVO4/CNTs composites with different contents of CNTs were tested by battery test system. The BiVO4 composited with carbon nanotubes had high electrical conductivity and large Li+ diffusion coefficient, which lead BiVO4/CNTs (BVO/C) to behave better electrochemical properties than those of pure BiVO4. Particularly, the composite (BVO/C-2) owned the best performance among all samples of BVO/C. When the current density was 100 mA/g, its initial specific capacity was 956 mA h/g and kept at 984.3 mA h/g after 200 cycles. When the current density is 1 A/g, its specific capacity could keep at about 340 mA h/g after 700 cycles. Besides, the BVO/C-2 composite behaved good rate performances. The reasons for that the BVO/C-2 owned outstanding electrochemical properties were presented else.
