AbstractThe potential battery electrode material V2O3/C has been prepared using a sol–gel thermolysis technique, employing vanadyl hydroxide as precursor and different organic acids as both chelating agents and carbon sources. Composition and morphology of resultant materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopies, physical sorption, and elemental analysis. Stability and electronic properties of model composites with chemically and physically integrated carbon were studied by means of quantum-chemical calculations. All fabricated composites are hierarchically structured and consist of carbon-covered microparticles assembled of polyhedral V2O3 nanograins with intrusions of amorphous carbon at the grain boundaries. Such V2O3/C phase separation is thermodynamically favored while formation of vanadium (oxy)carbides or heavily doped V2O3 is highly unlikely. When used as anode for lithium-ion batteries, the nanocomposite V2O3/C fabricated with citric acid exhibits superior electrochemical performance with an excellent cycle stability and a specific charge capacity of 335 mAh g−1 in cycle 95 at 100 mA g−1. We also find that the used carbon source has only minor effects on the materials’ electrochemical performance.

Nanostructured SnO 2/ C composites used as anode materials were prepared by sol–gel synthesis to explore electrochemical properties in lithium-ion batteries. Surface characteristics of the SnO 2/ C nanocomposite were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that nanocrystalline SnO 2/ C with a grain size of 20–50 nm was uniformly dispersed on the carbon surface. After nanocrytalline SnO 2 coated onto carbon, the discharge capacity showed an increase up to 23%, i.e., from 300 to 370 mAh/g at a current density of 0.6 mA/cm2. The nanocomposite anode can achieve a fairly stable discharge capacity and excellent Coulombic efficiency (>99.5%) over 50 cycles. Cyclic voltammograms indicated that the improvements on capacity and cycleability were due to reversible alloying of nanosized Sn and Li on carbon surface.
