Rechargeable Copper Vanadate Cathodes for Lithium Cell

Abstract
The electrochemical behavior of various copper vanadates ( , , , and ) was studied in lithium cells with organic electrolytes. These cathodes exhibited high working voltages and large specific capacities, resulting in energy densities of ca. 1 Wh/g and 4 Wh/cm3 based on cathode active material. Rechargeable capacities of 0.16–0.26 Ah/g were obtained. Elemental copper formation was observed during discharge, and this phenomena appeared to affect cycle performance.
