Ultra-long VO2(B) Nanobelts : One-step Hydrothermal Synthesis andElectrochemical Properties

doi:10.15541/jim20140526

Abstract

Abstract:

Ultra-long VO₂(B) nanobelts were fabricated by a facile one-step hydrothermal treatment. It was found that the nanobelts were about ~200 nm in width and dozens of microns in length. Being used as a cathode material, the VO₂(B) nanobelts show superior rate capability, with discharge capacities of ca. 425, 175, 125, 90, 75 and 50 mAh/g at 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 mA/g, respectively. More importantly, excellent cycling stability without considerable capacity loss (10.41%) for 500 cycles is observed. The present study implied that the unique ultra-long nanobelts morphology and its intrinsic structural features are responsible for their excellent structure stability, and thus resulting in superior electrochemical performance.
