ABSTRACTWe are exploring the synthesis and properties of structured vanadium oxides mainly nanotubes and nanorods. Nanotubes initially formed with surfactant templates have been readily exchanged with simple cations without change of the basal-plane structure. These compounds contain d-like vanadium oxide layers with the vanadium in VO6 octahedra. This structure is particularly suitable for redox reactions. In this paper we report on synthesis of vanadium oxide, (NH4)xV2O5-d·nH2O rods using organic polymer as template. This compound has been synthesized by sol-gel reaction and subsequent hydrothermal treatment. TGA, SEM, XRD and FTIR were used to characterize this compound. Thermal analysis of this compound shows that the fibrous morphology is maintained when it is heated in nitrogen and oxygen above 300 °C. However, in both cases the size of the fibers decreases. Performance of this compound as cathode material in secondary electrolyte has been investigated using LiPF6 as electrolyte. A capacity of 140 mAh/g was obtained which remained fairly constant with up to at least 10 cycles. We also investigated electrochemical behavior of thermal products.

ABSTRACTRecently, there has been much interest in creating new layered transition metal oxides. Vanadium oxides may be used as sorbents, catalysts, and cathodes in lithium batteries. The modified sol-gel technique allows for some control towards the final structure of the compound. Using this technique, a new layered vanadium oxide phosphate material, containing the surfactant dodecylphosphate, has been synthesized. The compound was analyzed using powder XRD, TGA, SEM, FTIR, TEM, and solid state NMR for both 51V and 31P. V2O3(PO4C12H25)3Na2−xKx(H2O)3.2 is the general formula of the layered product with an interlayer spacing of 36.6 Å The initial compound is composed of a vanadium oxide phosphate layer sandwiched between two hydrocarbon layers. The synthesis, composition, and structure of the initial compound will be discussed. Interestingly, when this compound is calcined to 400°C, the structure changes and is possibly hexagonal. Preliminary results are presented on this calcined material.

ABSTRACTThe sol gel reaction of NH4VO3 and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) template followed by hydrothermal treatment formed (NH4)xV2O5-Δ.nH2O rods. TGA, SEM, XRD and FTIR characterized this compound. Heating (NH4)xV2O5-Δ.nH2O in oxygen and nitrogen at 250 °C and 300 °C respectively resulted in the formation of vanadium oxides nanofibers of V3O7 and V2O5. Performance of these compounds as cathode in rechargeable lithium battery was investigated in a LiPF6/mixed carbonate electrolyte. The materials show good cycling with capacity greater than 130mAh/g, which translates to the insertion of 0.5 moles of Li+ per vanadium of the active material.
