Abstract

Abstract

Vanadium monoxide (VO), recognized as a potential anode material for high-energy and high-power lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), is limited in its application as an electrode material due to its low purity, high cost and complex process in existing synthesis process. The authors propose a novel hydrogen reduction process for VO synthesis using V₂O₃ as the raw material and H₂ as the reducing agent. The key parameters such as reduction temperature, reaction duration, and others were systematically investigated. The preparation of VO is achieved through the V-H-O multiphase reaction, and the resulting VO powder particles have relatively smooth surfaces, presenting an approximating spherical or ellipsoidal shape. The XRD diffraction pattern closely matches with the reference diffraction pattern, with accurate peak positions, sharp profiles, and narrow full widths at half maximum, indicating excellent crystallinity. By optimizing parameters, the optimal reduction conditions were determined. When the reduction temperature is 1500 ℃, the reaction time is 5.5 h, hydrogen flow rate is 0.264 cm/s, the vanadium content is about 78.27%, which is consistent with VO_0.80-VO_1.20.
