摘要
Vanadium pentoxide （V2O5.nH2O） nanoribbons are synthesized via a hydrothermal process. These ribbons are 20nm thick, 200nm to 1 μm wide and several tens of micrometers long. Free-standing binder-free films are prepared by using these nanoribbons with multi-walled carbon nanotubes （MWCNTs） and used as the cathode for rechargeable sodium batteries. The large interlayer space between the V20s5 bilayers can enhance the kinetics of sodium ion intercalation/deintercalation. In addition, the intertwining network of the V2O5. 0.34H2O film provides efficient electron conduction pathways and shortens diffusion distances of sodium ion. The electrochemical tests prove that the free- standing V2O5. 0.34H2O film cathode delivers high reversible specific capacities （190 mAh/g） and good cycling stabilities （170 mAh/g after 150 cycles） in the voltage range between 1.5V and 3.5V.
