Microwave-assisted synthesis of metallic V6O13 nanosheet as high-capacity cathode for magnesium storage

Abstract

To explore and design cathode with high capacity is the key and challenge to promote the development of rechargeable Mg batteries (rMBs). Herein, metallic 2D V6O13 nanosheet is synthesized via a facile microwave-assisted method. As cathode for rMBs, metallic 2D V6O13 nanosheet delivers a high specific capacity of 324 mAh g−1 and exhibits moral cycling stability. This research shows the superiority of metallic V6O13 nanosheet and its potential application in rechargeable Mg batteries.
