Solvothermal synthesis of GO/V2O5 composites as a cathode material for rechargeable magnesium batteries†
Abstract
Herein GO/V2O5 composites as a cathode material for rechargeable magnesium batteries are presented. Synthesized by the solvothermal reaction of vanadium oxytriisopropoxide (VOT) and graphene oxide (GO), the GO/V2O5 composites exhibit greatly enhanced electrochemical performances, and attained a high discharge capacity up to 178 mAh g−1 at a rate of 0.2C.
