Abstract
A lithium-vanadium-molybdenum-oxide composite has been prepared by a soft chemical route with mechanical activation assistance followed by low-temperature heat treatment in argon atmosphere. The X-ray diffraction reveals that the synthesized sample is made up of Li3V(MoO4)3 and LiVOMoO4 crystal phases. The SEM images show the fine particles ~300 nm in size. HRTEM image shows a clear crystal boundary between the two phases. The composite possesses good electrochemical performance as anode material. Particularly, it delivers an initial charge capacity of 927 mAh gâ1 at 50 mA gâ1 with a high initial coulombic efficiency of 81.2% and maintains 87.8% of its initial capacity after 50 cycles. Even if tested at 1000 mA gâ1, it can deliver a reversible capacity of 542 mA h gâ1.
