Abstract:
A silver vanadium oxide (SVO) material with an interlaced structure was prepared using graphene as a two-dimensional substrate that directs the crystal growth in the hydrothermal process. The obtained SVO-graphene hybrid showed high structural stability, and lithium ion batteries (LIBs) using the hybrid as the cathode showed excellent cycling stability and rate performance.

Spontaneous redox reactions occur abundantly in nature. The chemical reaction occurring in a disposable AA battery powering our remote controls is one such example of a spontaneous redox reaction. Another example is the immersion of coiled copper wire into an aqueous silver nitrate solution. The reaction shows a gradual, visually impressive color change from colorless to bright blue and the formation of a grey precipitate on the copper wire. In this experiment,...
