Lithium vanadium oxides were prepared by low heating solid-state method in which LiOHβ’H 2 O and NH 4 VO 3 were used as starting reactants to synthesize a precursor containing Li and V, and then obtained the resulting products by calcining the precursor separately at 300, 400 and 500 β’ C for 6 h. Characterization by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that these oxides are ascribed as same as that of crystalline layered lithiated trivanadate and the crystallinity, size and morphology of the LiV 3 O 8 varied with calcined temperature. The LiV 3 O 8 compound prepared by this synthesis method gave a good charge-discharge and cycle performance. A specific capacity of 342 mAh g -1 is obtained in the range of 1.8-3.8 V in the first cycle when the sample obtained at 300 β’ C. PEG added during the synthetic process makes the dimension of the particles uniform but does not affect the electrochemical properties of LiV 3 O 8 .
