Bio-inspired solution combustion synthesis of copper vanadate nanoparticles for lithium-ion battery anodes
摘要
Recently, researchers have given nanostructured metal vanadates a lot of thought because of their exceptional capabilities in energy conversion, electrical devices, catalysis, and storage. In this study, we report for the first time a bio-inspired green solution combustion synthesis of Cu2V2O7 nanoparticles using using Butea monosperma leaf extract and used a variety of spectroscopy techniques to examine their properties. Due to their abundance, relative affordability, and multiple oxidation states, copper and vanadium can be used in a wide variety of redox processes that are advantageous for electrochemical performance. Good rate capability, steady cycling performance, and a high discharge capacity of 173 mAh/g at 1.5 A/g were all demonstrated by electrochemical experiments. The Cu2V2O7 NPs effective lithium-ion transport and synergistic redox activity are reason for the improved electrochemical characteristics. These findings show that green-synthesized Cu2V2O7 NPs has the potential to be a appropriate anode material for lithium ion batteries of the next generation.
