ABSTRACT
In this research, a series of K+-intercalated quasi-1D vanadium-based nano-ribbons (KxV2O5 NRs) were synthesized via a facile solvothermal method. The solvation and reductive effects of vanadium oxide precursors (V2O5 powder) on the crystallization and growth of KxV2O5 NRs were studied. Besides, post-heat treatment was performed to improve the crystallinity of KxV2O5 NRs. These KxV2O5 NRs were adopted as active cathodes for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), whose K+ storage properties were systematically evaluated using various electrochemical methods. The relationship among the morphology, crystallinity, working voltage window and electrochemical reversible K+ storage performance of KxV2O5 NRs was studied and established. Results reveal that KxV2O5-HG, which was prepared via a solvothermal reaction involving a solvation process (using H2O2) and a proper reducing condition (proper dose of glucose) with V2O5 powder as the raw material, would be more beneficial for the reversible storage of K+ when used as the cathode for PIBs compared to other contrast samples. In addition, the enhanced crystallinity and slightly broadened working voltage window of KxV2O5-HG could hinder its long-term cycling stability upon repeated K+ insertions/extractions.
