Fabrication of Nb2O5 Nanosheets for High-rate Lithium Ion Storage Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nb2O5 nanosheets are successfully synthesized through a facile hydrothermal reaction and followed heating treatment in air. The structural characterization reveals that the thickness of these sheets is around 50 nm and the length of sheets is 500 ~ 800 nm. Such a unique two dimensional structure enables the nanosheet electrode with superior performance during the charge-discharge process, such as high specific capacity (~184 mAh·g(-1)) and rate capability. Even at a current density of 1 A·g(-1), the nanosheet electrode still exhibits a specific capacity of ~90 mAh·g(-1). These results suggest the Nb2O5 nanosheet is a promising candidate for high-rate lithium ion storage applications.

متن کاملFabrication of single-layer MS2 (M=Mo, W) nanosheets using Li battery setup
Lithium intercalation is a convenient method to prepare few-layer and single-layer MS2 (M=Mo, W) nanosheets. This method is, however, very time-consuming (few days) and it is difficult to control the reaction parameters. To overcome these drawbacks, we have proposed a method to use an Li battery set-up to significantly reduce the reaction time (few hours) and electrochemically intercalate lithi...
