The use of sol-gel processes in the preparation of cathode materials is of growing interest because of their ease and flexibility. The electrochemical properties, e.g. the rate of lithium intercalation, appear to depend on the morphology of the thin-film vanadium oxide xerogels that can be changed b

โฆ Synopsis
A porous V O lump with a very large surface area could be prepared by removal of B O from a melt quenched 2 5 2 3 2 21 V O -B O binary mixture of 4:1 molar ratio. The surface area reached 34.75 m g and a very interesting gathering 2 5 2 3 texture of V O tiny needle crystals was observed with a lot of vacant space for electrolyte solvent to soak in. A lithium 2 5 22 rechargeable cell using the porous V O showed superior electrochemical performances with current drain | 400 mA cm 2 5 21
and discharge capacity | 114 mA hr g . Several cycles were carried out between 2 to 4 V limits using the porous samples. However this was not possible when commercially available and only melt quenched V O samples were used. A porous 2 5
sample was discharged to around x 5 0.8 in Li V O through ato ยด-phases and cycled in the latter range.
