S. Maingot et al., ORIGIN OF THE IMPROVED CYCLING CAPABILITY OF SOL-GEL PREPARED FE0.12V2O5.16 COMPARED WITH V2O5, Journal of power sources, 54(2), 1995, pp. 342-345
A new vanadium iron oxide has been synthesized starting from V2O5 xero
gel through an exchange reaction. In its Rietveld-determined structure
, (FeO6) apex sharing octahedra link V2O5 ribbons and increase the thr
ee-dimensional character of the material. This fatter point seems to i
mprove the electrochemical behaviour when compared with V2O5. Especial
ly, in terms of cycle life, a capacity of 210 Ah/kg is maintained afte
r 40 cycles in the potential window of 3.8-2 V instead of 150 Ah/kg fo
r V2O5.
