Abstract

Silver vanadate (Ag0.33V2O5) nanorods were successfully synthesized by the pre-intercalation of Ag+ into the interlayer of V2O5 through a sol–gel method, which presented a favorable electrochemical performance of high capacity, rate capacity, and cycle stability. Specifically, Ag0.33V2O5 electrode presented a high capacity of about 311 mAh·g−1 at the current density of 0.1 A·g−1. It also delivered long-term cycling stability (144 mAh·g−1 after 500 cycles at 2 A·g−1). The reasons for the superior electrochemical performance were the pre-intercalation Ag+ extended interlayer distance, and the introduction of elemental silver improved conductivity during charge/discharge. Additionally, the Zn2+ storage mechanism was revealed by various characteristic measurements. The prepared Ag0.33V2O5 nanorods from the sol–gel method were demonstrated as a promising cathode material for aqueous Zn2+ batteries.

摘要

通过溶胶-凝胶法将银离子预嵌入到V2O5的层间中, 成功地制备了钒酸银(Ag0.33V2O5)纳米棒。用于水系锌离子电极材料时钒酸银纳米棒具有良好的电化学性能, 包括高容量、高倍率性能和循环稳定性, 在0.1 A·g−1的电流密度下, Ag0.33V2O5电极的比容量约为311 mAh·g−1。这是由于预插入银离子扩大了层间距离, 同时银的引入提高了充放电过程中的电导率, 因此赋予材料优异的电化学性能。同时它还具有长循环稳定性(在2 A·g−1下循环500次后比容量为144 mAh·g−1)。此外, 通过各种表征揭示了锌离子的储存机理, 因此用溶胶-凝胶法制备的Ag0.33V2O5纳米棒是一种很有应用前景的水系锌离子电池正极材料。
