Vanadium and titanium oxides prepared by hydrolysis of alkoxides as insertion electrodes in lithium cells with polymeric electrolytes

Abstract

Single and mixed oxides of titanium and vanadium, prepared by hydrolysis of alkoxides using a sol—gel technique, have been evaluated as positive electrodes in all-solid-state lithium cells. These oxides were shown to have similar gravimetric capacities to, but higher rate capabilities than, the established lithium insertion electrode phase V 6O 13.
