Rational Synthesis of Freestanding NaxV2O5-rGO Paper as the Stable Cathode for Sodium Ion Batteries
Abstract
Flexible NaxV2O5/rGO papers were successfully prepared via hydrothermal method followed by vacuum filtration as a high-performance cathode for SIBs. The as-prepared NaxV2O5/rGO combined flexibility and high conductivity that can buffer stress and facilitate the fast transportation of electrons during the charge-discharge process. As a result, the as-prepared NaxV2O5-rGO paper can exhibit a reversible Na-ion storage capacity of ∼197 mA h g−1 at 100 mA g−1 and a good cycling performance with 81% capacity retention for 400 cycles at a high current density of 500 mA g−1, showing great potential in flexible energy storage devices.
