Abstract:
The effects of discharge cutoff voltages on the structural evolution and electrochemical performance of the LiVO3 cathode upon cycling are investigated by electrochemical measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, ex situ X-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It is found that a lower cutoff voltage causes formation and accumulation of unstable V4+ ions on the surface of the electrode, which easily leads to severe structural deterioration and capacity fading. A limited cutoff voltage between 3.5 and 1.5 V can effectively enhance the structural stability and consequently the electrode demonstrates 75.9% capacity retention and neglectable working voltage decay over 400 cycles. The result that the operation voltage range strongly affects the structural stability of cycled LiVO3 provides a new insight into exploring feasible approaches to achieve highly stable LiVO3 and other vanadium-based electrodes for lithium-ion batteries.
