Abstract
Vanadium oxide based materials have been studied as novel negative electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their high specific capacity. In this study, potassium metavanadate ($KVO_3$) was synthesized and its electrochemical properties are evaluated as a negative electrode materials. The aqueous solution of $NH_4VO_3$ is mixed with a stoichiometric amount of KOH. The solution is boiled to remove $NH_3$ gas and dried to obtain a precipitate. The obtained $KVO_3$ powders are heat-treated at 300 and $500^{\circ}C$ for 8 h in air. As the heat treatment temperature increases, the initial reversible capacity decreases, but the cycle performance and Coulombic efficiency are improved slightly. On the contrary, the electrochemical performances of the $KVO_3$ electrodes are greatly improved when a polyacrylic acid (PAA) as binder was used instead of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and a fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) was used as electrolyte additive. The initial reversible capacity of the $KVO_3$ is 1169 mAh/g and the Coulombic efficiency is improved to 76.3% with moderate cycle performance. The $KVO_3$ has the potential as a novel high-capacity negative electrode materials.
