Carbon-coated V2O5 nanoparticles with enhanced electrochemical performance as a cathode material for lithium ion batteries

- Carbon-coated V2O5 was synthesized in a scalable and easy method using a carbon form as a template.
- Electrochemical performance of the carbon-coated V2O5 was significantly improved compared to nano-sized V2O5.
- The carbon-coated V2O5 calcined at 400 °C showed enhanced capacity retention and rate capabilities.
