Oroxylum as a traditional Chinese medicine, was used as a green and novel bio-template to synthesize tremella-like Li3V2(PO4)3/C composite (LVPC) cathode materials by adopting a facile immersion method. The microstructures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical properties were investigated by galvanostatic charge–discharge experiments. The LVPC revealed specific capacity of 95 mAh·g-1 at 1 C rate within potential range of 3.0–4.3 V. After 100 cycles at 0.2 C, the retention of discharge capacity was 96%. The modified electrochemical performance is mainly resulted from the distinct tremella-like structure.

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.

A porous vanadium pentoxide ( V2O5 ) material was prepared through a facile sol-gel route using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as template reagent. Its crystal structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The electrochemical properties of the as-prepared V2O5 in 1.0 mol l-1 Li2SO4 aqueous electrolyte were investigated by galvanostatic charging/discharging and cyclic voltammetry. The results revealed that the porous V2O5 could deliver the average capacities of 67, 54 and 42 mAh g-1 at the rates of 0.1, 0.5 and 2 C, respectively. The cycling performances of the V2O5/LiMn2O4 cells suggested that the porous V2O5 material could be used as an anode material for aqueous rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

Ni/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanorods were successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction. The crystal structure of the products was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology of the products was observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influences of reaction time and pH value on the morphology of the Ni/Al LDHs were investigated. The result showed that the well-crystallized nanorods of Ni/Al LDHs could be obtained when the pH value was about 10.0 with a long reaction time (12–18 h) at 180°C.

Abstract In this work, LiAlH4 is used to reduce SiO2 to porous silicon, and then nano-silver (AgNPs) and Li2CO3 are attached to porous silicon substrate to form different porous silicon composites. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are applied to characterize the morphology of porous silicon composites, and porous silicon composites are tested via electrochemical techniques. The experimental results present that porous silicon composites loaded with AgNPs (Si-Ag) show higher specific capacity (476.0195 mA·h·g-1) and lower interfacial impedance compared with composites loaded with Li2CO3 (Si-Li2CO3). Si-Ag composites are suitable to be used as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
