Electrospun V2MoO8 as a cathode material for rechargeable batteries with Mg metal anode

Well crystalline layered V2MoO8 is synthesized by electrospinning combined with calcinations. As a multi-electrons cathode material in rechargeable magnesium batteries, it delivers a fairly stable capacity of ca. 150 mA h g−1 with a discharge voltage of 1.55 V in APC/1 M LiCl. The LiCl effect, phase evolution during cycling and the big initial capacity loss are examined and discussed.347
