• Hierarchical structured porous VOx@carbon composites were synthesized via a one-step method.
• Vanadium oxides can greatly increase electrochemical performance of materials.
• The loading amount of vanadium oxides can influence their electrochemical capacitance.
• The micro–nano porous structure of the composites can also promote the electrochemical reaction.
Hierarchical or micro–nano structured porous VOx@carbon composites were synthesized by a one-step method using phenolic resin as the carbon precursor and ammonium metavanadate as the source of vanadium oxides. The effects of the vanadium source loading on the microstructure and electrochemical properties of the composites were investigated. X-ray diffraction results showed that as the vanadium oxides source loading increased, vanadium oxides in the composites changed oxidation states from V2O3 to mixed states of V2O3 and VO2. Electrochemical test results indicated that the micro–nano porous structure of the composites could facilitate the ion diffusion in the rich porous structure and then promote the electrochemical reaction. More importantly, we found that vanadium oxides greatly enhanced the electrochemical performance of the materials, due to the faradic capacitance generated from vanadium oxide nanoparticles. A maximum specific capacitance of 171 F/g was obtained from VOx@carbon composite with vanadium loading of ∼44 wt%. Further increasing the VOx loading over this fraction was not beneficial. Our results suggested that hierarchical porous VOx@carbon composites were promising candidates for supercapacitor applications.
