Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium ion storage materials, and in particular relates to a preparation method and application of anatase phase VTiO4. Background Art

[0002] Faced with global environmental degradation and energy shortages, the storage and application of clean, renewable energy is essential for sustainable human development. Among various electrochemical energy storage devices, lithium-ion storage devices are widely favored by scientists due to their low self-discharge, wide operating temperature range, and safety and environmental friendliness. Currently, they are widely used in portable smart devices and electric vehicles. Among the components of lithium-ion storage devices, electrode materials are the core and key. The performance of electrode materials directly determines the key performance characteristics of lithium-ion storage devices, such as charge-discharge capacity, capacity retention at high currents, energy density, power density, and cycling stability. Therefore, the development of electrode materials with excellent performance and environmental friendliness is crucial.

[0003] In the process of exploring new electrode materials, anatase titanium oxide (TiO2) has the characteristics of being environmentally friendly, low cost, highly stable in cycles, and safe, which are conducive to its application in large-scale lithium-ion storage. However, since only one electron in TiO2 participates in the reversible redox process in the electrochemical reaction, its specific capacity and energy density are relatively low. Vanadium ions have variable valence states (+2, +3, +4, and +5) during the lithiation / delithiation process, and can undergo additional redox reactions at lower potentials. Therefore, anatase vanadium titanium oxide (VTiO4) has a high specific capacity and high energy density relative to anatase TiO2. In addition, V 4+ The size of the ion and Ti 4+ The similarity leads to the high structural stability of V in TiO2. Therefore, VTiO4 is a very promising high-performance lithium-ion storage electrode material. Summary of the Invention
