Abstract

New cathode materials will lead to technological advances for implantable cardioverter defibrillators, ICDs, such as reduced size and increased performance of the device. While the industry standard silver vanadium oxide Ag2V4O11 exhibits great chemical/electrochemical stability, dense silver oxide fluoride materials are advantageous because of high crystal density that can result in an increased capacity above 3 V. This report highlights the reactivity at room temperature between Ag2O and V2O5 in an aqueous HF solution which affords a rapid precipitation of sub-micrometer sized Ag4V2O6F2 (SVOF), a high capacity Li-battery cathode material. This system opens new and novel synthetic strategies in the design of new oxide fluoride materials.
