Electrochemical performances of vitreous materials in the system Li2O-V2O5-P2O5 as electrode for lithium batteries
Glass composition 25Li(2)O-50V(2)O(5)-25P(2)O(5) has been investigated as a potential material for electrode. Electrical properties as well as electrochemical performances of this glass composition have been characterized and results show a capacity less than 80 mAh g(-1) when tested in the [3-4.5 V] potential window. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first lithiated amorphous material reported as a potential positive electrode material. Glasses, due to their wide available compositions in a given system and their easy processing, pave the way to new type of electrode material. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
