Hydrothermal synthesis of Ag2Cu(VO3)4/Ag nanowires: A new cathode material for lithium-ion batteries

Complex nanomaterials with multi-components show great potential in the design and development of high-performance electrodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this study, we successfully prepared a quaternary transition-metal vanadium oxide Ag2Cu(VO3)4/Ag nanowires by a simple hydrothermal method. The as-obtained Ag2Cu(VO3)4/Ag nanowires was investigated as cathode material for LIBs for the first time, which showed high discharge capacity and stable cycling performance. This work may provide a new choice for cathode materials of LIBs for the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
