Synthesis of Cu0.1-doped vanadium oxide nanotubes and their application as cathode materials for rechargeable magnesium batteries

The electronic conductivity of Cu0.1-doped VOx-NTs is up to magnitude higher than that of the undoped material. Doped vanadium oxide nanotubes also exhibit significantly improved kinetic behavior and rate capability. Cu0.1-doped VOx-NTs present good electrochemical behaviors at 10 mA/g discharge current density with initial specific capacity 120.2 mAh/g.
