New V2O5 nanofilm electrodes without binder and conductive agents were fabricated by sintering the V2O5 film precursor at 300℃ on stainless steel substrates
which were coated from CTAB-containing V2O5 sol gel electrolyte by electrodeposition. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that V2O5 in the new V2O5 film was hydrated V2O5·nH2O and the film had lager interlamellar spacing than V2O5 film prepared without CTAB. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) results showed that the new V2O5 film possessed a rough porous surface morphology. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results suggested that the new V2O5 film electrode contained more V4+ than the V2O5 film electrode prepared without CTAB. Electrochemical study demonstrated that the new V2O5 film electrode had excellent Na+ insertion/extraction stability. Compared to the V2O5 film electrode prepared without CTAB
the new V2O5 film electrode exhibited better electrochemical reaction reversibility
enhanced Na+ diffusion performance
and higher sodium storage specific capacity
which could be a very promising cathode material for sodium ion batteries.
