dc.description.abstractA reduced toxicity production route of vanadium pentoxide thin films together with the study of the fabrication parameters that allow optimizing the performance of this material as a cathode for lithium-ion batteries is presented. V2O5 films were fabricated on silicon and stainless-steel substrates by combining electron beam evaporation of metallic vanadium film followed by an oxidation process. A strong dependence on their performance as cathodes for LiBs to the film thickness and microstructure was found, the later depending mainly on the oxidation temperature. Particularly, V2O5 electrodes with 150 nm of thickness fabricated from 50 nm of metallic vanadium oxidized at 500 degrees C, exhibit excellent performance with a reversible and fast Li storage capability, a high average discharge capacity up to 271 mAh/g at 0.5C, very close to the theoretical capacity (294 mAh/g), with near to 100% of coulombic efficiency. First-principles calculations of Li+ diffusion in three main V2O5 crystallographic directions using density functional theory (DFT) were performed to explain how this remarkable performance is related to the film microstructure.
