Mesoporous Mo4V6O25 As High Electrochemical Performance Anode Material for Lithium Ion Battery

The strategy of achieving long cycle stability predominantly depends on the electrode materials in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, this strategy was achieved by the preparation of Mo4V6O25 nanorods using a simple low-temperature hydrothermal method. The prepared sample exhibited mesoporous nature, uniformly arranged nanorods and good thermal stability confirmed by BET, TEM and TG-DT analysis, respectively. This material was used as anode and exhibited initial discharge capacity of 1129 mAh g−1 at 100 mA g−1 for LIBs and delivered reasonable discharge capacities even at different current rates with excellent cycling stability. The Mo4V6O25 is considered as a promising anode material for LIBs with high electrochemical performance.
