The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. Single-phase Na<inf>1.2</inf>V<inf>3</inf>O<inf>8</inf> materials with single and hierarchical nanobelt morphologies were prepared by using a versatile electrospinning technique by altering the sintering profiles. On the basis of characterization by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, the formation mechanisms of products with tunable morphologies are discussed. The products obtained are employed as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Their electrochemical activities are demonstrated through galvanostatic cycling and cyclic voltammetry. The non-agglomerated, single nanobelts with exposed (100) facets, which serve as channels for facile lithium diffusion, are capable of exhibiting higher maximum capacities of approximately 218 mAhg<sup>-1</sup> compared to hierarchical nanobelts with a maximum capacity of approximately 197 mAhg<sup>-1</sup> versus Li/Li<sup>+</sup> at a current density of 200 mAg<sup>-1</sup>. Their associated reversible capacities are approximately 207 and 173 mAhg<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, after 100 cycles. Single nanobelts with individual belt-like structures and preferred facet orientation also exhibit better rate capabilities.
