Novel sodium intercalated (NH4)2V6O16 platelets: High performance cathode materials for lithium-ion battery

J Colloid Interface Sci. 2014 Feb 1:415:85-8. doi: 10.1016/j.jcis.2013.10.025. Epub 2013 Oct 24.

Abstract

A simple and versatile method for preparation of novel sodium intercalated (NH4)2V6O16 is developed via a simple hydrothermal route. It is found that ammonium sodium vanadium bronze displays higher discharge capacity and better rate cyclic stability than ammonium vanadium bronze as lithium-ion battery cathode material because of smaller charge transfer resistance, which would favor superior discharge capacity and rate performance.
