Abstract

V₂O₅/mesoporous carbon composite has been prepared by an ultrasonically assisted method followed by a sintering process. The as-prepared V₂O₅/mesoporous carbon material containing 90 wt% V₂O₅ shows better electrochemical performance, with capacity of 163 mA h g^-1 after 100 cycles at the current density of 500 mA g^-1, as well as better charge/discharge rate capability for lithium storage than V₂O₅ nanoparticles. The improved electrochemical performance indicates that the V₂O₅/mesoporous carbon composite could be used as a promising cathode material for lithium ion batteries.
