The invention provides a carbon-coated
vanadium pentoxide positive
electrode material, a preparation method thereof and application of the carbon-coated
vanadium pentoxide positive
electrode materialin a
lithium battery, and belongs to the technical field of
lithium batteries. The specific scheme is as follows: the carbon-coated
vanadium pentoxide positive
electrode material has a sandwich structure, an outer
coating layer of the sandwich structure is a
nitrogen-
doped carbon material, an inner sandwich layer of the sandwich structure is
graphene foam and vanadium pentoxide, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) performing hydrothermal growth of
vanadium disulfide in the
graphene foam, and annealing in air; (2) self-polymerizing
dopamine on the annealed
graphene foam, carrying out centrifugal
drying, and carrying out high-temperature annealing in an
inert atmosphere; and (3) assembling the annealed material in the
inert atmosphere into the
lithium battery. According to the prepared vanadium pentoxide positive
electrode material with the carbon-coated structure, the loading capacity of the active material is increased through the
porous graphene foam, the
lithium ion transport distance is shortened, the
structural stability of the active material is stabilized through
carbon coating, and therefore the prepared vanadium pentoxide positive
electrode material shows good electrochemical performance.
