Effect of preparation temperature on the morphology, crystal structure and electrochemical properties of LiV3O8 powders prepared by spray pyrolysis

▶ The properties of LiV3O8 prepared by spray pyrolysis at various temperatures are investigated. ▶ The LiV3O8 powders prepared at 600, 900 and 1000 °C had spherical shapes and fine sizes. ▶ The LiV3O8 powders with special shape and fine size had high capacities and good cycle properties.
