Abstract
The Li1+xV3O8 material was successfully synthesized at 450 °C in short sintering duration by microwave sol-gel route. X-ray diffraction suggests oxygen defects in the lattice. Based on Randles-Sevcik formula, cyclic voltammograms measurements were conducted to measure Li+ ion diffusion coefficient. The material exhibits high discharge capacity of 250 mA g-1 at 0.2 mA/cm2 after 30 cycles in the range of 2.0-4.0 V. Alternating current impedance tests show that the growth of the charge transfer resistance at 0.4 mA/cm2 is more rapid than that of at 0.2 mA/cm2 as the galvanostatical charge-discharge continues.
