We show the occurrence of local cation ordering in Li-ion battery material Li<sub>1.25</sub>Nb<sub>0.25</sub>Mn<sub>0.5</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, previously thought to be disordered. We deduce this ordering from X-ray diffraction, and test it against neutron diffraction & PDF, magnetic susceptibility and solid state NMR evidence. We identify the nature of the ordering as having a local structure related to that of gamma-LiFeO<sub>2</sub>, determine the correlation length of such ordering, and demonstrate its significant consequences for the material's electrochemistry.

A method for the calculation of the pair distribution and structure functions from X-ray intensity data obtained with an area detector for an off-center incident X-ray beam on an amorphous sphere is presented. Error propagation for converting from the structure function to the pair distribution function is also described, including a summation series approach to treat the error from a high-qtruncation. A Zr58.5Cu15.6Ni12.8Al10.3Nb2.8glass (Vitreloy 106a) is used to demonstrate the techniques. In particular, the semi-analytical corrections presented to calculate the effects of secondary scatter within and asymmetric transmission through a spherical sample are verified.

The MoO3/V2O5/C, MoO3/C and V2O5/C are synthesized by electrospinning combined with heat treatment. These samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) techniques. The results show that sample MoO3/V2O5/C is a composite composed from MoO3, V2O5 and carbon. It takes on morphology of the nanofibers with the diameter of 200~500 nm. The TG analysis result showed that the carbon content in the composite is about 40.63%. Electrochemical properties for these samples are studied. When current density is 0.2 A g−1, the MoO3/V2O5/C could retain the specific capacity of 737.6 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles and its coulomb efficiency is 92.99%, which proves that MoO3/V2O5/C has better electrochemical performance than that of MoO3/C and V2O5/C. The EIS and linear Warburg coefficient analysis results show that the MoO3/V2O5/C has larger Li+ diffusion coefficient and superior conductivity than those of MoO3/C or V2O5/C. So MoO3/V2O5/C is a promising anode material for lithium ion battery application.
