Advanced Lithium Ion Batteries

-MoO3 nanobelts and PEO surfactant MoO3 nanobelts were synthesized using simple hydrothermal method. The PEO surfactant MoO3 nanobelts have high specific capacity at the nineth cycle (64.2%) compared to pure MoO3 nanobelts (58.9%). The 12.5 wt% PEO surfactant MoO3 nanobelts show better stabilized specific capacity (218 mAhg1) at the 25th cycle which is more than the pure MoO3 nanobelts (198 mAhg1). -MoO3 nanobelts and PVP surfactant MoO3 nanobelts have been synthesized. The PVP surfactant MoO3 nanobelts has an initial specific capacity of 300 mAh/g, and its stabilized capacity still remained as high as 169 mAh/g after 50 cycles. The V2O5 nanotubes electrode battery shows initial specific capacity 192 mAhg1, whereas the PEG surfactant V2O5 nanotubes exhibite 204 mAhg1 with constant current density of 20 mAg1 at 2.0-4.0 V versus Li/Li+ potential range. Single crystalline flowerlike -MoO3 NRs synthesised through a solvothermal method and tested NRs as anode material for a rechargeable LIB. The flowerlike -MoO3 NRs display high capacity of 1182 mAh g-1at a constant current density of 30 mA g-1. The capacity is still up to 695 mAh g-1after 189 cycles.
