Title: Microwave-assisted synthesis and electrochemical evaluation of VO2 (B) nanostructures

Abstract

Understanding how intercalation materials change during electrochemical operation is paramount to optimising their behaviour and function and in situ characterisation methods allow us to observe these changes without sample destruction. Here, we first report the improved intercalation properties of bronze phase vanadium dioxide VO2 (B) prepared by a microwave assisted route which exhibits a larger electrochemical capacity (232 mAh g-1) compared to VO2 (B) prepared by a solvothermal route (197 mAh g-1). These electrochemical differences have also been followed using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy allowing us to follow oxidation state changes as they occur during battery operation.
