Abstract

The compound, lithium trivanadate (LiV3O8), was synthesized by the polymer precursor method, using the polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone. The electrochemical performance of LiV3O8 was compared with LiV3O8 synthesized by the solid state reaction method. The prepared compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy techniques. The electrochemical performances were studied by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic cycling in the voltage range of 2.0 to 4.0 V at room temperature (25 °C). The compound prepared by the polymer precursor method was found to have a good cycling stability. A reversible capacity value of 203 mAh/g (2.18 mol of Li) and 170 mAh/g (1.83 mol of Li) was obtained at the end of the 70th cycle, at a current density of 30 and 120 mA/g, respectively.
