Abstract:Orthorhombic H2V3O8 single-crystal nanobelts with a thickness of less than 30 nm and a length up to several hundreds of micrometers have been synthesized using bulky divanadium pentoxide powders as a precursor. The synthetic process is free of any templates and reducing agents. Divanadium pentoxide undergoes a redox reaction under hydrothermal conditions. The influences of pH, reaction time, and temperature on the morphologies of the resulting products have been investigated. The belt-like H2V3O8 with a high surface area may be beneficial to lithium insertion between the V3O8 layers for application in batteries. (c) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
