Composites of V2O3–ordered mesoporous carbon as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Facile synthesis of one-dimensional zinc vanadate nanofibers for high lithium storage anode material

“…Another peak located at about 0.5 V in the first discharge step may be ascribed to the reduction of V xþ and Zn 2þ to metallic vanadium and zinc, respectively [35,36].…”

Capacitance behavior of ordered mesoporous carbon/Fe2O3 composites: Comparison between 1D cylindrical, 2D hexagonal, and 3D bicontinuous mesostructures

“…Therefore, a systematically comparison of electrochemical behaviors between different structured OMC composites is essential for a better understanding of the effects of pore structures on the performance. However, very few reports deal with non-CMK-3 composites and they all lack detailed investigation of the mesostructure's influence on the application [4,[8][9][10]13,15,16]. Hence it is important to design controlled experiments with various OMCs structures synthesized and tested under similar conditions in order to better understand and optimize OMCs related composites based on their structure stabilities and porosities.…”

“…Since the first synthesis in 1999 [1], ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) have been widely used as host materials for metal [2,3], metal oxide [4][5][6][7], sulfur [8][9][10], or polymers [11] for electrochemical sensors [11,12], fuel cells [2,3], supercapacitors [4][5][6][7]13,14], lithium ion batteries [15][16][17], Li-O batteries [18], and Li-S batteries [8][9][10] due to their high corrosion resistance, good electrical conductivity, high surface area, large pore volume, and easy handling. In addition, the welldefined porous dimensions were found to enable controlled metal or metal oxide nanoparticles impregnation into the porous scaffold [2], facilitating higher material utilization for catalysis and energy storage.…”

Superior electrochemical properties of rutile VO2-carbon composite microspheres as a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries

“…Some lower valence VO x compounds including VO 2 and V 2 O 3 could also be used as anode materials because of their good lithium ion storage properties [16,17]. Vanadium dioxide exists as four polymorphs, VO 2 (R), VO 2 (M), VO 2 (B), and VO 2 (A) [18][19][20][21].…”
