LiV3O8/poly(1,5-diaminoanthraquinone) composite as a high performance cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries.

LiV 3 O 8 /10 wt% poly(1,5-diaminoanthraquinone) composite was prepared by a in situ chemical oxidative polymerization process and applied as cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries. Due to the introduction of poly(1,5-diaminoanthraquinone) and electrochemical synergistic effect, the composite demonstrated better rate capabilities and cycling performances compared to the bare LiV 3 O 8 sample.
