Abstract
Preliminary results of the properties of a new mixed oxide Cr0.11V2O5.16 which was synthesized by a sol-gel process and may be used as cathode material for secondary lithium batteries are presented in this paper. The electrochemical properties are investigated and compared with those exhibited by the sol-gel vanadium pentoxide V2O5. The results are discussed with respect to the structural data available from these compounds. The presence of Cr3+ and additional O2- ions in the structure notably emphasizes the attractive performances of the material both in terms of specific capacity and cycle life. In particular, a high capacity is still available even for the pure material used without addition of electronic conductor. The cyclability, as well as the behaviour at high discharge rates are found to be significantly better than for the parent oxide V2O5. These results are consistent with structural considerations from which less severe structural deformations are expected during lithium insertion.
