Structural Phase Transformations in V2O5 Thin Film Cathode Material for Li Rechargeable Batteries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
We report on investigations of V2O5 thin film cathodes prepared by pulsed laser deposition and the phase transformations which occur during electrochemical cycling. Our experimental results on PLD-grown, textured V2O5 crystalline films concur with reports in the literature that there is a voltage threshold above which, cycling appears to be completely reversible and below which, cycling appears to be irreversible. Crystalline films discharged beyond the threshold to 2.0 V vs. Li exhibited an immediate and continuous fade in capacity as well as a ∼90% decrease in XRD peak intensity and a similar decrease in Raman signal intensity in as few as 10 cycles. We have made co-phase material by both electrochemically discharging virgin, crystalline V2O5 and by further discharging previously cycled films which showed irreversible structural changes.
