Abstract
The structural properties of lithium-doped trivanadate(Li-doped-V3O8)nanorods have been prepared by using vanadium pentoxide xerogelas reducing agent via hydrothermal method of lithium nitrate in the presence of excess sodium hydroxide. The resulting Li doped V3O8 nanorods materials were characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and William- hall plot analysis. Spectroscopic results indicated the successful formation of lithium-doped V3O8 nanorods. The surface morphologies of lithium-doped V3O8 nanorods were obtained to be dependent on the molar ratio of lithium nitrate to vanadium pentoxide. As obtained, nanorods have a particle size in the range of 22.5 nm and 27 nm. The SEM images of vanadium dioxide and Li doped V3O8 reveal the nanorods to have dimensions on the order of 2–4 µm and 1–2 µm in length and 20–30 nm in diameter. The EDX diffraction measures the elemental composition of nanorods. The XRD studies confirm the formation of the compound and crystallinity structure of nanomaterials VO2 and Li doped V3O8. By the Williamson-Hall plot, which displays the structural flaws of nanomaterials, the strain is measured. The unique properties of these Li doped V3O8 make them attractive use in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) application.
