Hydrothermal synthesis of Ag/β-AgVO3 nanobelts with enhanced performance as a cathode material for lithium batteries†
Abstract
An efficient and scalable strategy has been developed for the synthesis of Ag nanoparticles anchored on β-AgVO3 nanobelts via a template-free hydrothermal reaction. The Ag/β-AgVO3 nanobelts demonstrate enhanced lithium intercalation capacity, rate capability and cyclic stability.
