Synthesis and Lithium Storage Properties of Zn3V3O8/Porous Graphene

Abstract

Abstract: A simple template method was used to fabricate porous graphene framework (pG), and a pomegranate-like zinc vanadate (Zn₃V₃O₈) nanospheres were coated in the porous graphene nanosheets to form the unique structure of zinc vanadate/porous graphene (Zn₃V₃O₈/pG) nanocomposites. As an anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), the Zn₃V₃O₈/pG show good lithium storage performance and deliver a reversible capacity of 586 mAh g^-1 at 1000 mA g^-1 after 200 cycles. The superior electrochemical performance of Zn₃V₃O₈/pG nanocomposites can be attributed to the unique porous network carbon structure, which provides buffer space for the volume change of Zn₃V₃O₈ nanospheres during charge and discharge cycles, and the synergistic effects between pomegranate-like Zn₃V₃O₈ nanospheres and porous graphene network.

Key words: Zn₃V₃O₈, porous graphene, lithium ion battery, electrochemical performance, nanocomposites
