Abstract

The polyoxovanadate cluster Li7[V15O36(CO3)] is shown to be an active cathode material in Li-ion batteries, delivering a capacity of 250 mA h g−1 at 50 mA g−1 and 140 mA h g−1 at 10 A g−1. Li-ion diffusion is rapid in this material and gives rise to an impressive maximum power density output of 25.7 kW kg−1 (55 kW L−1).
