Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is an attractive high-energy cathode material for thermal batteries but is limited by the high solubility and tendency to react with halogenic molten salt. LixV2O5 (0 < x ≤ 1) are expected to take the place of V2O5 as the promising cathode materials in thermal batteries. In this work, LixV2O5 were successfully synthesized by the high-efficiency and low-cost method, which uses the molten salt as lithium source and through a brief-time sintered process (900 °C for 15 s). LixV2O5/molten salt electrode with CNTs conductive agent exhibits an original discharge voltage with 2.51 V and a specific capacity up to 309.46 mA h g−1. The high chemical stabilization between LixV2O5 and molten salt which could increase interfacial structure stabilization and improve the transmission rate of Li+. Besides, CNTs could build the continuous electron transport channels in active cathode inter-particles and improve the utilization rate of LixV2O5. This paper not only prepares the LixV2O5 cathode materials with high specific capacity via a simple method, but also provides insights into the phase evolution process of V2O5 based cathode electrodes during discharge process of thermal batteries.

高比能热电池用V2O5正极材料预锂化稳定电极相
五氧化二钒 (V 2 O 5 ) 是一种极具吸引力的热电池高能阴极材料,但受到高溶解度和与卤代熔盐反应倾向的限制。Li x V 2 O 5 (0 < x ≤ 1)有望取代V 2 O 5作为热电池正极材料。本工作以熔盐为锂源,通过短时烧结(900℃,15s),采用高效低成本的方法成功合成了Li x V 2 O 5 。锂× V 2 O 5/CNTs导电剂熔盐电极的原始放电电压为2.51 V,比容量高达309.46 mA h g -1。Li x V 2 O 5与熔盐之间的高化学稳定性可以增加界面结构稳定性并提高Li +的传输速率。此外,碳纳米管可以在活性正极颗粒间建立连续的电子传输通道,提高Li x V 2 O 5的利用率。本文不仅制备了Li x V 2 O 5通过简单的方法制备高比容量的正极材料,同时也为了解热电池放电过程中V 2 O 5基正极的相演化过程提供了见解。
