Mild and Cost-Effective One-Pot Synthesis of Pure Single-Crystalline β-Ag0.33V2O5 Nanowires for Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries

Graphical Crunch time! Or? Pure, single-crystalline β-Ag 0.33 V 2 O 5 nanowires are prepared to serve as electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries. In contrast to stoichiometric counterparts, the structure of the β-Ag 0.33 V 2 O 5 nanowires is retrievable upon repeated lithium-ion displacement/intercalation reactions. The proposed strategy to stabilize the crystal structure of electrode materials based on a displacement/intercalation mechanism shows promise for application in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
