The ion-intercalation reaction is limited both by the diffusion coefficient and by the length of the diffusion path.The former depends on the molecular structure of the material,while the latter is determined by the microstructure of the material[6].A molecular-level approach to improve response time is the rational design and synthesis of novel electrochromic polymers with fast electrochromic response[7].Meanwhile,an alternative approach is to fabricatefilms with a highly porous structure,which can provide a very short diffusion pathway for the counter-ions as well as a large active surface.Some porous electrochromicfilms have been successfully prepared andexhibited improved electrochromic performance.For example, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT)nanotubes were electrochemically synthesized on an ITO substrate in the AAO nanopores[8],which exhibited fast color changes with50and 70ms response times for oxidation and reduction,respectively. Therefore,constructing a porous structure is an effective way to improve response time.Polyaniline(PANI),a unique conjugated polymer,has been extensively studied as a promising polyelectrochromic material exhibiting three main stable oxidation states:the fully reduced leucoemeraldine(LE)form(transparent yellow), the50%oxidized emeraldine salt(ES)form(green)and the fully oxidized pernigraniline form(purple)[9].The PANI can be prepared by a chemical or an electrochemical oxidative polymerization,in which the electro-polymerization is believed to be the most simple and convenient method for preparation of the PANIfilm[10].Nevertheless,the adherence of the PANfilm on ITO glass is very weak and it can be easily rinsed out from the substrate.A lot of work has been devoted to improving the mechanical strength andflexibility of a PANIfilm on ITO glass.Several insulated polymers such as PV A and poly(4-styrenesulfonate)were selected to act as a template for electro-deposition of PANIfilms[11,12]. The adherence was found to have dramatically improved. Nonetheless,these template materials are insulated polymers, which always decrease the response speed.To overcome this shortcoming,a porous conductingfilm will be a good candidate for the supporting matrix.It can act as a solid support without sacrificing response time due to the porous structure,which can provide good pathways for electron transfer and ion diffusion at the same time.Template synthesis is one of the most commonly used methods to fabricate highly porous structures.A variety of porous conducting polymers including PANI,PEDOT and polypyrrole have been synthesized using porous AAO and track-etched polycarbonate membranes[8,13–15].The object materials could be deposited into nanosized template pores to form nanotubes or nanowires.However,to date,there are few reports on the electrochromic performance of porous PANI films.Recently,we have pioneered the electrochromics of highly porous NiO with pore diameters ranging from50to 250nm[16].The porous NiOfilm has high transparency and electrochromic performance,which is important for electrochromic devices.These results provide the impetus for the application of the highly porous NiO as a template to synthesize porous materials.Up to now,there are only a few reports on the synthesis of NiO/PANI composites.NiO/PANI nanobelt and NiO/PANI rectangular tube powders have been successfully synthesized via chemical polymerization by the group of Guo[17,18].Additionally,Peng et al[19] reported that a NiO x/PANI compositefilm,used as a catalyst towards electro-oxidation of polyhydroxyl compounds,could be prepared by electro-deposition in a neutral aqueous solution. Actually,the compositefilm prepared by Peng et al[19] is Ni(OH)2/PANI,not NiO/PANI.In a recent study,our group reported a porous NiO/PANI composite on a foam nickel substrate for Li-ion anode material,but the possible formation mechanism was not discussed[20].Combining the electrochromic capabilities of PANI and highly porous NiO in a compositefilm is an attractive goal and has not been explored.In this present work,the highly porous NiOfilm was used as a template to prepare highly porous net-like NiO/PANI compositefilms on an ITO substrate by combining chemical bath deposition and electro-polymerization,successively.The microstructure,formation mechanism and electrochromic performances of this porous NiO/PANI compositefilm were also investigated.2.Experimental details2.1.Chemical materialsAll chemical reagents were AnalaR(AR)grade.Nickel sulfate (NiSO4·6H2O),aqueous ammonia(25–28%),potassium persulfate(K2S2O8),perchloric acid(HClO4),lithium perchlorate(LiClO4)and propylene carbonate(99.9%)were obtained from Shanghai Chemical Reagent Co.All aqueous solutions were freshly prepared using high purity water (18M cm resistance).2.2.Preparation of highly porous NiOfilmThe synthesis routes for highly porous NiOfilms have already been described in detail in our previous work[16]and thus will only be briefly described here.Clean ITO glass substrates 2.5×2.5cm2in size were placed vertically in the freshly deposition solution containing80ml of1M nickel sulfate, 60ml of0.25M potassium persulfate and20ml of aqueous ammonia(25–28%).After stirring for20min,the substrate was removed from the solution and washed with distilled water. Finally,the as-prepared sample was annealed at300◦C for 1.5h.The thickness of the NiOfilm was approximately 480nm,determined with Alpha-step200profilometry.2.3.Preparation of highly porous NiO/PANI compositefilm Aniline was distilled under reduced pressure and stored in the sealed state at4◦C.The electrolyte for the electro-polymerization of PANI was obtained by dissolving1ml aniline in100ml of0.01M H2SO4solution.The electro-polymerization of PANI was carried out in a three-compartment system,with the above porous NiO thinfilm electrode as the working electrode,a saturated calomel electrode(SCE)as the reference electrode and a Pt foil as the counter-electrode.The PANIfilm was deposited by cyclic voltammetry as follows:thefirst cycle was conducted in the potential range of−0.2–1.3V with a sweep rate of 50mV s−1.The subsequent10cycles were carried out in the potential range of−0.2–1.0V with a sweep rate of50mV s−1. Calculated from the weight increment,the content of PANI in the compositefilm was20wt%.2.4.CharacterizationThe morphology and microstructure of samples were char-acterized by afield emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM,Hitachi S-4700),a transmission electron microscopeFigure1.Cyclic voltammetric curves of electro-polymerization of PANI on the NiOfilm.(TEM,JEM-2010),x-ray diffraction(XRD,Philips PC-APDwith Cu Kαradiation)and Fourier-transform infrared(FTIR) measurements(Perkin-Elmer System2000FTIR interferom-eter).The cyclic voltammetry(CV),chronoamperometry(CA)and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)measurements of the NiO/PANIfilm were carried out in athree-compartment system containing1M LiClO4+1mM HClO4/propylene carbonate(PC)as the electrolyte,a saturatedcalomel electrode(SCE)as the reference electrode and a Ptfoil as the counter-electrode on a CHI760B ElectrochemicalWorkstation(Chenhua,Shanghai).The CV measurementswere carried out in the potential range of−0.2–1.0V with a scanning rate of50mV s−1at room temperature(25±1◦C). Thefilm electrodes,0.5×1.0cm2in size,were used for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)measurements, which were made with a superimposed5mV sinusoidal voltage in the frequency range of100kHz–0.01Hz.The transmission spectra of NiO/PANIfilms in different redox states were measured over the range from200to900nm with a Shimadzu UV-240spectrophotometer.Each spectrum was recorded ex situ(after the samples were taken out of the three-compartment system,instantly rinsed and wiped to remove the remaining persistent solution).N2adsorption was determined by BET(Brunauer–Emmett–Teller)measurements using a NOV A-1000e surface area analyzer.3.Results and discussion3.1.Electro-deposition and structure characterization Figure1shows the cyclic voltammograms(CVs)of electro-deposition of PANIfilms on the porous NiOfilm.The CVs exhibits three pairs of redox peaks,which are similar to those reported by other authors[21,22].The increasing current with each cycle reflects the growth of the polymer film.Thefirst redox couple A1/C1is ascribed to the oxidation of leucoemeraldine to emeraldine salt[23].The second redox couple A2/C2is due to the degradation of radicals to benzoquinone during polymerization and has been assigned to the branched structure of PANI[24,25].The third redox couple A3/C3corresponds to the conversion fromemeraldine Figure2.XRD patterns of(a)NiOfilm and(b)NiO/PANI compositefilm on ITOglass.Figure3.FTIR spectra of powders from(a)NiOfilm and(b)NiO/PANI compositefilm.base to pernigraniline structure.The A4peak is attributed to the nucleation of aniline,which is similar to the previous report[26].The XRD patterns of NiO and NiO/PANI compositefilms on ITO substrates are presented infigure2. The diffraction peaks of both samples can be indexed as cubic NiO phase(JCPDS4-0835).No obvious diffraction peaks of PANI are observed,indicating the amorphous nature of PANI deposited by the CVs.Figure3shows the FTIR absorption spectra of powders from thefilms on ITO substrates.For the NiOfilm,a strong band centered at418cm−1[27]corresponding to the stretching vibration of NiO is presented in spectrum a.A broad OH band centered at3420cm−1is indicative of hydrogen-bonded water within thefilm structure.The bands in the spectral region of 900–1150cm−1belong to sulfate groups(SO2−4)[28].The band at587cm−1corresponds toδ(OH).For the NiO/PANI film,a broad band at3180–3480cm−1is observed,which is assigned to the stretching vibration NH of an aromatic amine as well as the stretching vibration of absorbed water.The bands centered at1578and1487cm−1are due to the C=C stretching vibrations of a quinoid(Q)ring and benzenoid ring,respectively[29].The band centered at1306cm−1is assigned to the C–N stretching band of an aromatic amine.The characteristic band of the PANI base is the N=Q=N stretchingFigure4.SEM and TEM micrographs of(a),(b)NiOfilm and(c), (d)NiO/PANI compositefilm.band at1130cm−1and a820cm−1band to an aromatic CH out-of-plane bending[30].The band at587cm−1corresponds to the bending vibration of OH.A strong band characteristic of NiO at418cm−1is also observed.Therefore,both FTIR and XRD results are in complete agreement and show an effective formation of the NiO/PANIfilm.The SEM and TEM images of NiO and NiO/PANI compositefilms are shown infigure4.The NiOfilm has a structure with huge porosity.The diameters of the pores range from50to250nm.The interconnecting network is made up offlaky nickel oxides with thicknesses of30–50nm,which Figure5.BET measurements of(a)NiOfilm and(b)NiO/PANI compositefilm.is similar to that reported by Wu et al[31].The NiO/PANI compositefilm maintains the highly porous net-like structure, but the thickness of theflakes becomes thicker,ranging from70 to90nm.In addition,the diameter of pores of the NiO/PANI film is much smaller than that of the NiOfilm,ranging from25 to110nm.BET measurements(figure5)show that the surface area of porous NiO and NiO/PANIfilms is350and485m2g−1, respectively.The pore size distributions of bothfilms show peaks at150and70nm,respectively.The porous NiO template has a porosity of about86%.After electro-polymerization,the porosity of the NiO/PANIfilm decreases but is still high up to 60%.From the TEM images offlakes of NiO and NiO/PANI compositefilms,it is noticed that these twoflakes have distinct surface morphology.Theflake before electro-polymerization is thin andflat with low roughness,while theflake after electro-polymerization is much thicker with a very rough appearance. It is inferred that the NiOflake is enwrapped by the PANI, which means that the compositeflake is composed of two parts: the inner layer is NiO and the outer layer is PANI.Based on the above results,a plausible formation mechanism of an NiO/PANI compositefilm could be described as follows:the porous NiOfilm acts as a template for PANI growth during the electro-polymerization,leading to the preferential growth of PANI along NiOflakes.The electro-polymerization ofITOGlassPANINiOChemical bath depositionE le ct r o-d ep os i ti o nFigure 6.Schematic diagram of fabricating porous NiO/PANI composite films on an ITO substrate.PANI first occurs along the NiO flakes and protects them from dissolving in an acid solution.The schematic for the synthesis of porous NiO/PANI composite films on ITO glass is illustrated in figure 6.The reason that the PANI preferentially nucleates and grows along NiO flakes may be due to the solvophobic and electrostatic interactions [14,15].On the one hand,the aniline is soluble,but the PANI is completely insoluble.Hence,there is a solvophobic component to the interaction between the PANI and the NiO flake.On the other hand,there is also an electrostatic component to the interaction between the nascent PANI and the NiO flake.This is because the PANI is cathodic,and there are anionic sites on the NiO flakes.As a result,the two factors contribute to the PANI preferentially nucleating and growing along NiO flakes and the formation of porous NiO/PANI films.3.2.Electrochromic and electrochemical propertiesThe electrochromism of PANI is closely related to its unique redox doping/dedoping processes,which can be easily controlled by applying electrical potentials.The transmittance spectra of the NiO/PANI composite film under six different applied potentials are shown in figure 7,and the photographs of a sample on the corresponding states are shown in figure 8.It is clearly seen that the NiO/PANI film presents a noticeable electrochromism with reversible color changes from transparent pale yellow to purple when the potential is varied from −0.2to 1.0V .It is observed that the transmittance decreases and the transmittance edges show a blueshift to the ultraviolet region as the applied potential increases from −0.2to 0.7V .While the PANI is oxidized into the totally pernigraniline structure (purple),the transmittance increases in the near-infrared region.This phenomenon is in accordance with the result in the literature [32].The transmittance variation between leucoemeraldine and pernigraniline states is up to 56%at 550nm.This value is comparable with the result obtained by Wang et al [33].The electrochromic response is an important criterion for selecting an electrochromic material.In this case,the porous NiO/PANI composite film was switched from an oxidized state to a reduced state by applying alternating square potentials between 0.8and −0.2V (versus SCE).Figure 9shows the resultant current–time response.The response times for oxidation and reduction are 90and 110ms,respectively.TheFigure 7.Optical transmittance spectra of NiO/PANI composite film s under six different appliedpotentials.Figure 8.Photographs of a sample with a size of 2.5×2.5cm 2under different applied potentials.switching speeds are much slower than those obtained by Lacroix et al (100μs)[34],but better than the result of Ram et al (205ms)[35].The response time is dependent on several factors such as applied potential,film thickness and electrolyte conductivity.The PANI film obtained by Lacroix et al is much thinner (120nm)and tested in 2M H 2SO 4.The thin film prepared by Ram et al is about 400nm and tested in 1M HCl.Our sample is about 480nm and tested in 1M LiClO 4+1mM HClO 4/PC,which has lower electrolyte conductivity.Nevertheless,the NiO/PANI film still exhibits a much faster electrochromic response than the conventional PANI film (>500ms)[36]and inorganic electrochromic materials (>1s).This is mainly due to the highly porous structure.The electrochromic processes involve double injection (extraction)of ions and electrons into (from)the film.The processes are believed to first occur at grain boundaries and on grain surfaces.The highly porous structure of the NiO/PANI composite film provides a large reaction surface and inner space,which facilitate electrolyte penetration into the film and shorten diffusion pathways for the counter-ions.Meanwhile,the intercrossing network provides much more paths for the double injection (extraction)of ions and electrons into (from)the film.All these contribute to the improvement of response speed.Figure9.Chronoamperometric curve of the porous NiO/PANI compositefilm.The electrochemical stability of the NiO/PANIfilm in1M LiClO4+1mM HClO4/PC was typically characterized by cyclic voltammetry in the potential range of−0.2–0.8V,at a sweep rate of50mV s−1.The evolution of CVs of the NiO/PANIfilm is shown infigure10.There is a significant shift in the shape of the recorded curves.The CV curve at thefirst cycle shows three typical redox couples.The first redox couple P1/C1corresponds to the change between leucoemeraldine base(LB)and emeraldine salt(ES)with anion doping upon oxidation and dedoping upon reduction,which can be simply expressed as follows[33,37]:PANI+n ClO−14 (LB,yellow)⇔(PANI n+)(ClO−14)n+n e−1(ES,green)(1)The second redox couple P2/C2has been attributed to the redox reactions of degradation products of PANI,including benzoquinone and quinoneimines[24,25,38,39].The redox couple P3/C3is due to the conversion between emeraldine base (EB)and pernigraniline salt(PS)with doping/dedoping of the anion processes,represented by the following reaction[33,37]:EB+m ClO−14 (EB,blue)⇔(EB m+)(ClO−14)m+m e−1.(PS,purple)(2)The conversion between ES and EB is due to protonation/deprotonation processes illustrated as follows:ES (Green)⇔EB+n ClO−14+n H+.(Blue)(3)No electrochemical current peaks of NiO are observed in this potential range.It indicates that the PANI plays a leading role in this potential range for electrochromism,and the NiO mainly plays the role of support.From CV results,an obvious degradation has been observed.After200cycles,the peak P2 starts to merge with the peak P3.The peaks C2and C3merge together at the800th cycle.Up to the103th cycle,only one redox couple can be seen.The current decreases dramatically and presents a fading of about60%at the103cycle.Similar phenomena for PANI electrochemical degradation havealso Figure10.Cyclic voltammogram of NiO/PANI compositefilm in1M LiClO4+1mM HClO4/PC at a sweep rate of50mV s−1. been observed by others[24,25].The cycling stability ofthe NiO/PANIfilm in the present system has been found tobe less than103cycles on going from the reduced state to theoxidized state in the potential range of−0.2–0.8V.The result is much lower than the value of106cycles,as observed byKobayashi et al[40]for a1.0μm PANI thinfilm on switching between leucoemeraldine and emeraldine salt.The shorterlifetime is due to the degradation of the pernigraniline and NiOchemical instability in the electrolyte solution for a prolongedtime.It is believed that the pernigraniline is not stable as aresult of benzoquinone formation by hydrolysis during cycling,especially under a potential higher than0.7V(versus SCE).Onthe other hand,these degradation products are soluble in theelectrolyte and peel off from thefilm electrode during cycling.As mentioned above(figure4),the NiOflake is enwrapped byPANI.When the PANI degrades and peels off,the NiO will beexposed to the acid electrolyte and dissolve.This leads to thebreakdown of the NiO backbone and results in worse stability.Figure11shows EIS plots of NiO and NiO/PANIcompositefilms and an equivalent circuit model.Both Nyquistplots are recorded in1M LiClO4+1mM HClO4/PC after both samples have been subjected to a step voltage of0.6Vfor5s.The impedances of bothfilm electrodes consistof a depressed arc in high frequency regions and a straightline in low frequency regions.Generally,the semicirclereflects the electrochemical reaction impedance(Rct)of thefilm electrode and the straight line represents the diffusionof electroactive species(Rw).Compared to the NiOfilm,the NiO/PANIfilm exhibits a much smaller capacitive arcand slower slope.According to previous reports[41–43],a larger semicircle means a larger charge transfer resistanceand smaller electrochemical capacitance(Qc),and a higherslope signifies a lower diffusion rate.It is concluded thatthe NiO/PANIfilm has much lower charge transfer resistanceand ion diffusion resistance as well as larger electrochemicalcapacitance than the NiOfilm,indicating the compositefilmis favorable for charge transfer and ion diffusion.This is dueto the porous conductive network formed by the PANI.It iswell known that the PANI exhibits high electrical conductivityFigure11.EIS plots of bothfilm electrodes.in the partially oxidized state.In our experiment,a uniform PANIfilm is deposited on the NiOfilm after electrochemical polymerization,which provides a good conductive network for the whole compositefilm.On the other hand,the highly porous structure of the NiO/PANIfilm provides a large reaction surface and inner space,facilitating ion diffusion.4.ConclusionThe highly porous NiO/PANI compositefilm was successfully prepared by combining the chemical bath deposition and electro-polymerization methods,successively.It is expected that this synthetic method may be applicable for the synthesis of other inorganic material–conducting polymer composite films.The as-prepared NiO/PANI compositefilm has a net-like structure with huge porosity.The NiOfilm acts as a template for the preferential growth of PANI along NiOflakes.The NiO flakes are coated by PANI and protected from dissolving in an acidic environment.The NiO/PANI compositefilm exhibits a noticeable electrochromism with reversible color changes from pale yellow to purple.The NiO/PANI compositefilm presents quite a good transmittance modulation with a variation of transmittance up to56%at550nm.In addition,the NiO/PANI compositefilm electrode exhibits quite good reaction kinetics with fast switching speed due to its highly porous structure. The response time for oxidation and reduction is90and 110ms,respectively.References[1]Granqvist C G2005J.Eur.Ceram.Soc.252907[2]Somani P R and Radhakrishnan S2002Mater.Chem.Phys.77117[3]Shim G H,Han M G,Sharp-Norton J C,Creager S E andFoulger S H2008J.Mater.Chem.18594[4]Chang C W,Liou G S and Hsiao S H2007J.Mater.Chem.171007[5]Berridge R,Wright S P,Skabara P J,Dyer A,Steckler T,Argun A A,Reynolds J R,Harrington R W andClegg W2007J.Mater.Chem.17225[6]Lee S-H,Deshpande R,Parilla P A,Jones K M,To B,Mahan H and Dillon A C2006Adv.Mater.18763[7]Aubert P-H,Argun A A,Cirpan A,Tanner D B andReynolds J R2004Chem.Mater.162386[8]Cho S I,Xiao R and Lee S B2007Nanotechnology18405705[9]Stilwell D E and Park S M1988J.Electrochem.Soc.1352491[10]Huang M R,Tao T,Li X G and Gong Q C2007Am.J.Phys.75839[11]Gangopadhyay R,De A and Ghosh G2001Synth.Met.12321[12]Kimura K and Kumar J2004J.Printing Sci.Technol.41109[13]Martin C R,Van Dyke L S,Cai Z H and Liang W B1990J.Am.Chem.Soc.1128976[14]Martin C R1996Chem.Mater.81739[15]Parthasarathy R V and Martin C R1994Chem.Mater.61627[16]Xia X H,Tu J P,Zhang J,Wang X L,Zhang W K andHuang H2008Sol.Energy Mater.Sol.Cells92628[17]Song G P,Han J and Guo R2007Synth.Met.157170[18]Han J,Song G P and Guo R2006J.Polym.Sci.A444229[19]Peng X Y,Li W,Liu X X and Hua P J2007J.Appl.Polym.Sci.1052260[20]Huang X H,Tu J P,Xia X H,Wang X L and Xiang J Y2008mun.101288[21]Genies E M and Tsintavis C1985J.Electroanal.Chem.195109[22]Genies E M,Lapkowski M and Penneau J F1988J.Electroanal.Chem.24997[23]Leon-Silva U,Nicho M E,Hu H L and Cruz-Silva R2007Sol.Energy Mater.Sol.Cells911444[24]Kobayashi T,Yoneyama H and Tamura H1984J.Electroanal.Chem.177293[25]Stilwell D E and Park S-M1988J.Electrochem.Soc.1352497[26]Ou Yang L Y,Chang C,Liu S,Wu C and Yau S L2007J.Am.Chem.Soc.1298076[27]Cerc Koroˇs ec R,Bukovec P,Pihlar B and Padeˇz nikGomilˇs ek J2003Thermochim.Acta40257[28]Surca A,Orel B,Pihlar B and Bukovec P1996J.Electroanal.Chem.40883[29]Ma X F,Li G,Wang M,Cheng Y,Bai R and Chen H Z2006Chem.Eur.J.123254[30]Wang Y G,Li H Q and Xia Y Y2006Adv.Mater.182619[31]Wu M S and Yang C H2007Appl.Phys.Lett.91033109[32]Shreepathi S and Holze R2005Chem.Mater.174078[33]Wang J Y,Yu C M,Huang S C,Ho K C and Chen L C2008Sol.Energy Mater.Sol.Cells92112[34]Lacroix J C,Kanazawa K K and Diaz A1989J.Electrochem.Soc.1361308[35]Ram M K,Maccioni E and Nicolini C1997Thin Solid Films30327[36]Dhawan S K,Ram M K,Malhotra B D and Chandra S1995Synth.Met.75119[37]Lin T H and Ho K C2006Sol.Energy Mater.Sol.Cells90506[38]Yang H and Bard A J1992J.Electroanal.Chem.339423[39]Shim Y-B,Wan M-S and Park S-M1990J.Electrochem.Soc.137538[40]Kobayashi T,Yoneyama H and Tamura H1984J.Electroanal.Chem.161419[41]Zimerman A H and Effa P K1984J.Electrochem.Soc.131709[42]Armstrong R D and Wang H1991Electrochim.Acta36759[43]Kostecki R,Ulmann M and Augustynski J1993J.Phys.Chem.978113。

Thus,the search for template-free,simple,mild,high-yield and environmentally friendly methods to synthesize different inorganic hollow structures is still a significant challenge.In the past decade, various physical phenomena such as oriented attachment[6],Ostwald ripening[7]and Kirkendall effect[8]have been employed in a number of one-pot template-free methods for fabrications of hol-low inorganic nanostructures.Among them,mass transport via Ostwald ripening has been proven to be a facile approach to generate symmetric and/or asymmetric interior spaces for inorganic nanostruc-tures[9–11].Manganese oxides have been the subject of fascinating interest due to their unique properties and widespread potential applications such as dry-cell batteries[12,13],catalysts[14–18],water-purify-ing agents[19]and so on.Many novel synthetic routes have been employed to make micro/nanosized manganese oxides with different sizes,shapes and morphologies[19–26].Among them,a two-step process is often adopted.Solid precursors containing Mn arefirst prepared and then converted to manganese oxide.In particular,MnCO3have been demonstrated to be effective precursors to synthe-size manganese oxide.Zhao et al.synthesized nanoporous c-MnO2via a facile route using a hydro-thermal treatment and sequential thermal decomposition of MnCO3[27].Fei et al.reported a simple controlled preparation of hierarchical hollow microspheres and microcubes of MnO2nano-sheets through self-assembly with a MnCO3crystal-templating process[28].Cao et al.synthesized various Mn2O3hollow structures,such as spheres,cubes,ellipsoids,and dumbbells via a MnCO3 precursor route[29].We also prepared MnO2and Mn2O3hollow dumbbells using MnCO3hollow microstructures as a precursor template[30].However,the number of reports on one-pot synthesis of non-spherical hollow structures of this class of compound intermediates is significantly limited because of the paucity of non-spherical templates and difficulty in forming uniform coatings around high-curvature surfaces.Herein,we developed a facile process for controlled synthesis of MnCO3 hollow cube-like nanostructures using EG as the solvent.The as-obtained MnCO3can be thermal con-verted to phase-pure Mn2O3maintaining their pristine shapes essentially unchanged.The formation mechanism of the hollow structures can be attributed to an inside-out Ostwald ripening process.As an example of potential applications,the as-obtained hollow nanostructures were used as catalyst in CO oxidation and exhibited relatively high activity.2.Experimental2.1.PreparationAll chemicals were of analytical grade and used as received without further purification.In a typical synthesis,MnCl2Á4H2O(1.6g),urea(0.5g),deionized water(H2O,1mL)and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP,K-30;0.4g)were added to ethylene glycol(EG,50mL)in a150mL roundflask.Then the mixture was stirred with a magnetic stirrer bar to give a clear solution and heated to refluxing temperature(ca. 190°C)under the ambient pressure.About20min later,a white precipitate began to appear,indicat-ing the formation of MnCO3.The solution was heated for another60min to ensure the formation ofL.Liu et al./Superlattices and Microstructures72(2014)219–229221 the hollow structures before allowed to cool to room temperature.The white product was collected by centrifugation and washed with deionized water and ethanol several times,and then dried in an oven at80°C for12h.In such a reaction,the nanostructures could also be synthesized without using of PVP;however,the quality and the stability of these nanostructures would be greatly improved if PVP was present.Mn2O3hollow nanostructures were obtained by annealing MnCO3in a muffle oven at500°C with a ramping rate of3°C minÀ1.2.2.CharacterizationPhase purity and structure of the samples were examined by XRD using a Bruker D8-Advance pow-der X-ray diffractometer with Cu K a radiation(k=0.15418nm).The morphology and nanostructure of the products were characterized using a transmission electron microscope(TEM,JEM100-CX II)with an accelerating voltage of80kV,and afield-emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM,Hitachi, S4800).Thermal gravimetric analyze(TGA)was carried out to determine the composition of products at a heating rate10°C minÀ1from40to600°C under air atmosphere(SDTQ-600,Thermo Elemental). Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectra were recorded for samples using KBr pellet technique in the range of400–4000cmÀ1(Bruker VERTEX-70).Surface analysis of samples was carried out with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS,Thermo ESCALAB-250)with a standard Al K a source.All binding energies were referenced to the C1s peak(284.6eV)arising from surface hydrocarbons(or adventi-tious hydrocarbons).Measurement of specific surface area and analysis of porosity for the products were performed through measuring N2adsorption–desorption isotherms at77K with a Quanta-chrome NOVA-3000system.2.3.Catalytic experimentsThe catalytic activity of the as-obtained samples was evaluated on a continuousflowfixed-bed micro-reactor operating under atmospheric pressure.In a typical experiment,50mg catalyst particles were placed in the reactor.The reactant gases(1%CO,10%O2and89%N2)passed through the reactor at a rate of100mL/min.The composition of the gas exiting the reactor was analyzed with an online infrared gas analyzer(Gasboard-3020,China Wuhan Cubic Optoelectronics Co.,Ltd.),which simulta-neously detects CO and CO2with a resolution of10ppm.The results were further confirmed with a Shimadzu gas chromatograph(GC-14C).3.Results and discussion3.1.Formation of the MnCO3hollow nanostructuresThe phase purity of the as-prepared MnCO3hollow nanostructures was investigated using XRD,as shown in Fig.1a.All of the reflections of the XRD pattern can be indexed to the pure rhombohedral phase of MnCO3(JCPDS Card No.44-1472),and the absence of other diffraction peaks confirms the generation of phase-pure MnCO3crystals.To explore the formation mechanism of the MnCO3hollow structures,samples collected at differ-ent time intervals from the reaction mixture were investigated by TEM.As shown in Fig.2,four obvi-ous evolution stages could be identified.At an early stage,primary precipitates(amorphous) accompanied with the desired crystal products can be detected(Fig.2a),which could be converted to the MnCO3phase completely when the reaction time was prolonged.As the reaction proceeded, the amount of the microstructures increased at the expense of the nanoparticles.Eventually no tiny nanoparticles remained and the sample was composed entirely of the cube-like microstructures,as shown in Fig.2b.Prolonging the reaction time to30min,hollow core/shell microstructures were formed(Fig.2c).Further prolonging reaction time to60min,the sample consisted of microstructures were completely hollow(Fig.2d).The hollow MnCO3nanostructures are formed with a mean length ofFig.1.XRD spectrum of the MnCO3hollow microstructures.TEM images of the MnCO3samples obtained at different reaction time intervals once the precipitate appeared(a)5,(b)15,(c)40,and(d)60min.1l m.Moreover,the surface of the hollow structure is rough,indicating that the shell of the cubes is built with irregular tiny MnCO3nanoparticles.Based on the above observations,the formation pathway of the hollow MnCO3microstructures can be attributed to the Ostwald ripening process.Here we propose a possible process for the formation of the hollow nanostructures.In an initial stage,primary precipitates were formed instantaneously and quickly grew into the primary particles when supersaturation in the solution phase was reached.This initial solid might be an amorphous or poor crystallized phase owing to rapid spontaneous nucleation. In the following stage,the resultant crystallites were aggregated into cube-like crystals quickly inorder to minimize the overall energy of the system.These aggregated MnCO3solid microstructures were metastable due to their high surface energy.As the reaction proceeded,the reaction rate slowed down due to the depletion of the reactants.As a result,the crystal growth stage transferred to a kinet-ically controlled process.As the reaction proceeded,the inner nanocrystallites,which had a higher surface energy,would dissolve and transferred to these surface sites,where these nanoparticles on the surface acted as new nucleation sites.With further increase in the reaction time,the cores in the center could be completely consumed and thefinal hierarchical hollow structures were fabricated. The hollowing process is essentially similar to what has been researched intensively in the preparation of Sn–TiO2[31],Ni(OH)2[32],and Cu2O[33]hollow nanostructures via a inside-out evacuation mech-anism.Upon ripening,interior spaces can be created in accordance with matter state and agglomer-ative pattern of pristine crystallites.The effect of the H2O amount was also investigated.The carbonate anions in the synthesis were pro-vided by hydrolyzation of urea(Eqs.(1)and(2)),so it was essential to add a certain amount of H2O to the synthetic mixture in order to form MnCO3crystals(Eq.(3)).Note that the addition of H2O in the synthetic solution was essential to control the morphology of the MnCO3crystals.As an example,when H2O was not added to the solution mixture,no product was obtained.With an increase to2mL of H2O, the as-prepared product was solid cube-like microstructures with a length in region of500–600nm and no hollow structures were observed(Fig.3).The smaller size may be the result of more MnCO3 nuclei caused by a higher H2O concentration in the reaction mixture,which promote the formation of smaller clusters.Moreover,MnCO3hollow dumbbells were obtained when the same molality of Mn(NO3)2solution(50wt.%)instead of MnCl2Á4H2O and H2O was used[30].On the basis of the exper-imental results,the formation of these hollow nanostructures can now be further addressed.The anions such as ClÀand NO3Àalso influenced the morphology of the products.We thought that the different anion(ClÀor NO3À)in the reaction mixture might result in different reaction condition and environment of MnCO3nuclei,which kinetically favor the preferential crystal aggregation along different direction.COðNH2Þ2þ3H2O!2NHþ4þCO2þ2OHÀð1Þ2NHþ4þCO2þ2OHÀ!2NHþ4þCO2À3þH2Oð2Þimage of the MnCO3sample obtained using2mL of H2O addedL.Liu et al./Superlattices and Microstructures72(2014)219–2292234.Typical FTIR spectrum of the MnCO3hollow microstructures.Fig.5.Representative XPS spectra of the MnCO3crystals:(a)wide scan,(b)C1s,(c)O1s,and(d)Mn2p. crystals.The bands at round3440and1628cmÀ1are assigned to the stretching vibration of the O–H group of surface absorbed molecular water and hydrogen-bond O–H.The presence of CO32Àin the MnCO3sample is evidenced by itsfingerprint peaks at1449,864,725cmÀ1,according to normal modes of vibration of planar CO3molecules/ions;the peak located at2489cmÀ1is also commonly associated to a vibrational mode of carbonate anion[34].The weak peak at1798cmÀ1is attributed to an overtone or combination band composition of the carbonate groups and divalent metal ions.To have further information on surface composition of the samples,XPS analysis has been per-formed in this work.Fig.5a shows a wide scan spectrum of the as-prepared sample.The peaks locatedL.Liu et al./Superlattices and Microstructures72(2014)219–229225 at284.6,532.1and642.5eV are assigned to the characteristic peaks of C1s,O1s,and Mn2p,respec-tively.As expected,the above sharp peaks confirm the abundant existence of carbon,oxygen,and manganese elements on the sample surfaces of MnCO3.The peaks at289.4eV in the C1s spectrum is assigned to the carbon element in association with oxygen in the carbonate ions.The peaks at 284.6and286.2eV can be attributed generally to surface-adsorbed hydrocarbons and their oxidative forms(e.g.C–OH)[34].The predominant O1s peak at532.1eV belongs to the lattice oxygen of MnCO3. The core level peaks of Mn2p at642.2and654.4eV correspond to Mn2p3/2and Mn2p1/2of MnCO3 [35,36].The Mn2p peaks at644.5and647.8eV(Mn2p3/2)can be assigned to satellite shake-ups of the components of Mn2O3surface phase,respectively.Fig.6.TG and DSC curves for the as-obtained MnCO3hollow cubes.Fig.7.XRD spectrum of the Mn2O3hollow cubes.TEM images of the prepared Mn2O3nanostructures:(a)FE-SEM image

and TEM images of the samples from this oxidative heat-treatment.The pristine morphologies of the MnCO3crystals were well preserved in their oxide products,and no appreciable shape and size changes were observed.However,their surfaces seem to become rougher, suggesting the generation of porous Mn2O3through the calcination.The cube-like Mn2O3hollow microstructure could be further confirmed by FE-SEM image of a broken Mn2O3cube(Fig.8a).The shell thickness is ca.40nm and the shell is comprised of nanoparticles,and the corners(angles included by two surfaces)of the cubes are not strictly right,which is in good agreement with the TEM results(Fig.8b and c).As shown in Fig.8d,lattice plane spacing calculated from the HRTEM images is ca.0.38nm hkl(211).Fig.8e shows the TEM image of the core–shell Mn2O3microstructures through the heat-treatment.To investigate the specific surface areas and the porous nature of the Mn2O3samples,BET gas-sorp-tion measurements were performed.N2adsorption–desorption isotherm of these porous microstruc-tures are shown in Fig.9and the inset illustrate the corresponding Barrett–Joyner–Halenda(BJH)pore size distribution plots.From the pore distribution curve,the Mn2O3samples showed mesoporous structural characteristics and had a monomodal pore size distribution,which is5nm for hollow struc-tures and7nm for core–shell structures,respectively.The specific surface area using the BET method is87.2m2/g for hollow structures and70.4m2/g for core–shell structures,respectively.3.4.Catalytic performanceCO Catalytic oxidation is environmentally important and here is used as a probe reaction to eval-uate the catalytic performance of Mn2O3nanostructures using a continuous-flow,fixed-bed microre-actor.Fig.10displays the temperature dependence of the CO conversions for catalysts with different morphologies.It is clear that the hollow cubes show a much higher conversion at the same temper-ature.For example,at180°C,the CO conversion of hollow structures is80.5%,which is much higher than that of core–shell structures(45.7%).Furthermore,complete CO conversions can be achieved at 210°C and270°C over hollow and core–shell Mn2O3catalyst,respectively.The clear contrast of the catalytic activity between hollow and core–shell Mn2O3powders can be attributed to the difference29.N2physisorption isotherms of the hollow(a)and core–shell(b)Mn2O3microstructures.The inset displays corresponding BJH pore size distribution.4.ConclusionsIn summary,we have developed a polyol process for preparation of hollow and core–shell cube-like MnCO 3nanostructures with the assistance of PVP in EG solution.On the basis of our time-dependent synthetic experiments,the formation of these MnCO 3crystals can be attributed to a nucleation–aggre-gation–ripening process.In air atmosphere,Mn 2O 3hollow microstructures have been obtained from the MnCO 3submicrometer crystals after oxidative thermal decomposition at 500°C with a ramping rate of 3°C min À1.Our surface textural/morphological investigation further reveals that the thermally converted Mn 2O 3products possess mesoporosity and essentially maintain their pristine MnCO 3mor-phologies unaltered.CO catalytic oxidation experiments indicated the Mn 2O 3hollow cubes show bet-ter catalytic performance than core–shell Mn 2O 3cubes,possibly due to its large specific surface area.AcknowledgmentsThis work was supported by the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (2012QNA09),the Key Laboratory of Coal-based CO 2Capture and Geological

Liang 2,Jinbin Wang 1*and Guozhong Cao 3ABSTRACT In this work,hollow structured V 2O 5micro-spheres were fabricated from solid vanadium precursor microspheres which were prepared by microwave-assisted,solvothermal approach.In the annealing process,the spher-ical precursor microspheres can be converted into hollow microspheres,serving as a sacrificial template.The synthesis approach is quite different from the previously reported approaches for the preparation of hollow structured V 2O 5microspheres.As cathode materials for lithium ion batter-ies,the hollow-structured V 2O 5microspheres exhibit high capacity and good rate capability.The electrodes deliver specific discharge capacities of 132and 113mA h g −1at the current densities of 1C and 8C,respectively.Keywords: vanadium oxides,solvothermal,microwave-assisted synthesis,hollow microspheres,lithium ion batteriesINTRODUCTIONVanadium pentoxide (V 2O 5)has been extensively studied as a potential cathode material in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs),due to its high capacity,abundant re-sources of vanadium elements in storage,and easy fab-rication [1–5].However,the low diffusion coefficient of lithium ions (10−12to 10−13cm 2s −1)[6]and low electronic conductivity (10−2to 10−3S cm −1)[7]impede its elec-trochemical performance.Recently,nanomaterials are effective to improve their electrochemical performance because of the kinetic enhancement for Li +ions diffusion and electron transportation [7–15].To date,various V 2O 5nanostructures,such as nanofibers [16,17],nanowires [18]and hierarchical microspheres [19–22]have been reported with improved electrochemical properties.Among the nanostructured materials,hierarchical nan/omicrostructures are preferred because the self-aggre-gation upon cycling can be inhibited at some extent.Inparticular,hollow structured vanadium oxides are of great interest,due to their structural advantages.First,the hol-low interior can better accommodate the volume change upon cycling.Second,the porous exterior shell allows the easy penetration of the electrolyte.Third,the nanopar-ticles which compose the microsphere can increase the contact area between electrode and electrolyte,which ensures the good rate capability of the electrode materials.To date,the synthesis strategies of hollow V 2O 5micro-spheres can be generally grouped into two classes:the Ostwald-ripening [9,19]and template-assisted fabrication [20].For Ostwald-ripening synthesis,the hollow precur-sors are initially formed during the solvo/hydrothermal process and can be converted into V 2O 5microspheres in the subsequent annealing process in air.For instance,Pan et al .[9]successfully fabricated hollow structured VO 2mi-crospheres with complex interiors and converted them into V 2O 5microspheres with well-preserved structures,which exhibited high capacity and tunable electrochemical prop-erties.Template-assisted synthesis of V 2O 5microsphere is a straightforward approach by first growing vanadium precursor against the templates and removing the tem-plates thereafter.More recently,Wu et al .[20]reported the growth of vanadium precursors by template against carbon microspheres and their conversion into multi-shelled V 2O 5microspheres in the subsequent annealing in air.The pre-pared double-shelled V 2O 5microspheres exhibited high specific discharge capacity and good stability.Cao et al .[23]reported the polyol synthesis of nanorod-assembled hollow microspheres using polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)as a surfactant.The structures of the V 2O 5microspheres were pre-fixed by the precursor microspheres.However,the synthesis of hollow V 2O 5microspheres from solid1School of Materials Science &Engineering,Xiangtan University,Xiangtan 411105,China2School of

attracts increasing interests,which also shows some other advan-tages such as environmental friendliness,low cost and easy mass production in a short bining microwave synthesis with hydrothermal process presents a poten-tially faster,more efficient and selective method for the preparation of nanomaterials.Herein,we report the new preparation of hollow structured V2O5microspheres from the microwave-assisted,solvothermally prepared solid microspheres by a thermal induced annealing,in which the solid microspheres function as sacrificial templates. As cathode materials for lithium ion batteries,the V2O5 hollow microspheres exhibit high capacity and good rate capability.EXPERIMENTAL SECTIONSynthesis of V2O5hollow microspheresAll chemicals were of analytical purity and used as received without further purification.In a typical synthesis,200mg of V2O5,4mL of glycerol were dissolved into20mL of iso-propanol under magnetically stirring for30min to get yel-low slurry,which was then sealed in a Teflon-lined auto-clave and kept at3W,180°C for1h in a microwave reac-tor(MDS-6GSMART,Shanghai).After cooling down nat-urally,the dark brown precipitate was collected by centrifu-gation and washed with ethanol several times before dry-ing in an electrical oven at70°C.The dried solid precursor was annealed in air at400°C for1h to obtain V2O5hol-low microspheres.The temperature ramping rate was0.5°C min−1.Materials characterizationThe crystallographic phases of all the products were in-vestigated by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD,Rigaku D/max2500)with Cu Kα(λ=1.5406Å)radiation.The morphologies of the samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope(FESEM,FEI Nova NanoSEM230),transmission electron microscopy(TEM, JEOL-JEM-2100F)and high resolution transmission electron microscope(HRTEM,TecnaiG2F20).Thermo gravimetric(TG)and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)analyses were performed on a combined TG and DSC analysis instrument(Netzsch STA449C,Germany).Electrochemical measurementsThe working electrode was prepared by dispersing V2O5, carbon black(Super P-Li)and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)binder in N-methylpyrrolidone with a weight ratio of70:20:10to form a slurry,which was coated on an alu-minum foil and dried in a vacuum oven at100°C for20h. The electrode disks were1.2cm in diameter and had an ac-tive material loading of0.6–0.9mg cm−2.Lithium foil was used as the counter and reference electrode,and1.0mol L−1LiPF6in ethyl carbonate/dimethyl carbonate(1:1v/v ratio)was used as the electrolyte.The cyclic voltammetry (CV)measurements were performed on an electrochemi-cal workstation(CHI604E,China)in the voltage range of 2.5–4V vs.Li/Li+under a scan rate of0.1mV s−1.The gal-vanostatic charge/discharge performance of the electrodes was evaluated at room temperature using a Land battery tester(Land CT2001A,China).RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONThe possible formation mechanism of the V2O5hollow spheres is shown in Fig.1.The commercial V2O5powder may experience a dissolution and recrystallization process in the mixed solvents of isopropanol during the solvother-mal process.The V5+from V2O5is partially reduced to V4+ by the organic species and the V2O5particles are converted into V4O9solid microspheres with organic species.In the later annealing process,the organic species in the solid spheres are decomposed,resulting in a volume contraction to create the interior hollow space.At the same time,the vanadium oxide is oxidized into V2O5microspheres. Fig.2a shows the XRD patterns of the solvothermally prepared precursor and its annealing product.Two main broad peaks are detected in the XRD pattern of the solvothermally prepared precursor and the whole pattern is in good agreement of the XRD pattern of V4O9 (JCPDS card23-0720).The broad peaks suggest the low crystallinity or small crystallites of V4O9in the precursor. Moreover,the valence of V5+in V2O5was partially reduced to V4+in the solvothermal process[24,25].After annealing the microsphere precursor in air,orthorhombic V2O5 phase(space group:Pmmn(59),JCPDS card41-1426) can be obtained with high purity.The phase transition from precursor to V2O5crystallites was studied by TG and DSC analysis and the result is shown in Fig.2b.The initial weight loss below279°C can be attributed to the evaporation of physical or chemical bounded water.The detection of a fast weight loss between279and370°C and an exothermal peak at321o C indicate the existence of organic species in the solvothermal prepared precursors.568Figure 1 Schematic illustration of the formation mechanism of the V 2O 5hollow spheres.Figure 2 (a)XRD patterns of the microwave-assisted solvothermally prepared product (black curve)and its annealing product (red curve);(b)TG and DSC results of the solvothermal products from room temperature to 600°C in air.The temperature ramping rate was set to 10°C min −1.As we know,the simple phase changes from V 4O 9to V 2O 5will cause the weight increase during annealing process.However,the large weight loss (about 10%)is related to the large amount of organic species in the vanadium precursor.The slight weight increase above 380°C can be attributed to the oxidation of vanadium species into V 2O 5.According to the TG and DSC analysis result,400°C was selected as the annealing temperature for the calcination process in air.Fig.3shows the structural characterization results of the vanadium precursor and the annealed V 2O 5.Fig.3a shows the SEM image of the solvothermally prepared pre-cursor particles,which are of spherical morphology with a mean diameter of about 1μm.The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS)result (inset of Fig.3b )indi-cates the precursor microspheres are composed of C,V and O.The clear detection of C element in the precursor mi-crospheres suggests the existence of organic species in the precursor microspheres.The result is in good agreement with the TG and DSC results.The TEM image (Fig.3c )reveals the solid interior of the microspheres.The struc-tures of the obtained V 2O 5from the solid vanadium pre-cursor are also characterized.Fig.3d shows the spherical morphology of the obtained V 2O 5with a mean diameter of about 1μm.However,the surface of the microspheres be-comes rough and porous.The surface structural changes can be attributed to the removal of organic species dur-ing the annealing process,which creates the pores on the surface.In general,the spherical morphology is well re-tained.The TEM image of the V 2O 5microspheres (Fig.3e )clearly presents the hollow interiors of the V 2O 5mi-crosphere and the porous feature of the exterior shell.The HRTEM image (Fig.3f )shows the layer fringes of 0.5714nm for V 2O 5hollow microspheres,in good agreement with the planar distance of (200)lattice planes.The selected area electron diffraction (SEAD)pattern (inset of Fig.3f )also confirms the good crystallinity of the obtained V 2O 5hol-low microspheres.It is worth mentioning that the forma-tion of V 2O 5hollow microspheres reported in this work is quite different from the previously reported synthesis strategy [26],such as Ostwald-ripening mechanisms [13]and template-assisted synthesis [20].The formation of the hollow microsphere can be attributed to the volume con-traction of the solid spheres after removing the organic species during the calcination process in air.The removal of organic species creates the porous feature of the exterior shells.In the whole process,the solid microspheres are ro-bust enough and can serve as self-sacrificial templates for the construction of the hollow microspheres.Fig.4a shows the Raman spectra of the V 4O 9solid spheres.The peaks located at 96,140, 191, 282, 403,528,569Figure 3 FESEM images (a and b),the EDS (inset of b)and TEM image (c)of the solvothermally prepared product;FESEM image (d),TEM (e),HRTEM image (f)and the SAED pattern (inset of f)of the calcination product.688and 990cm −1are ascribed to the characteristic peaks of V 4O 9[27,28],which is in good agreement with XRD re-sults.The hierarchical nature of the V 2O 5porous hollow spheres is further evaluated by nitrogen adsorption-des-orption measurement and the results are shown in Fig.4b .The isotherm can be described as type II with a H3hys-teresis loop,which indicates the slit-shaped pores in the V 2O 5porous hollow spheres.The measured Brunauer-Em-mett-Teller (BET)surface area of the sample is about 12.146m 2g −1.Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH)calculations disclose that the pore size distribution is mainly in the range of 1–20nm,which is in good correspondence with the TEM image.The V 2O 5hollow microspheres were assembled into coin cells to evaluate their electrochemical performances,and the results are shown in Fig.5.Fig.5a shows five consec-utive CV cycles for the V 2O 5hollow microspheres.During the cathodic scan,two peaks at 3.3and 3.1V vs .Li/Li +cor-respond to the phase transition from α-V 2O 5to ε-Li 0.5V 2O 5,and then to δ-LiV 2O 5,respectively [29,30].During the an-odic scan,the peaks at 3.26and 3.48V are attributed to the Li +de-intercalation process,corresponding to the phase changes from δ-LiV 2O 5,to ε-Li 0.5V 2O 5and then to α-V 2O 5,in reverse [31–33].The large overlap of the CV curves in-dicates the good reversibility of the V 2O 5hollow micro-spheres.Fig.5b shows the discharge/charge profiles of the V 2O 5hollow microspheres at different C-rates.The multi-ple discharge/charge plateaus at different rates indicate the multi-step Li +ions intercalation/de-intercalation process,in good agreement with the CV result.Even at 4C,the plateaus can be still clearly detected.Fig.5c shows the rate performance of the hollow structured V 2O 5electrodes.A specific discharge capacity of 136mA h g −1can be delivered at 1C,which is quite close to the theoretical capacity of 147mA h g −1for one Li +ion intercalation per formula.The electrodes deliver the capacities of 133.0,129.4and 113.8mA h g −1at 2C,4C and 8C,respectively.Even at 16C,the electrode can release a capacity of 86.8mA h g −1.The re-sults demonstrate the good rate capability of the electrodes.Fig.5d shows the cycling performance ofthe hollow struc-Figure 4 (a)Raman spectra of the V 4O

an initial discharge specific capacity of 130mA h g−1at5C and retain the capacity of111.8mA h g−1after500cycles,with an average capacity fading rate of0.3%per cycle.The electrodes also show good capacity retention at10C.The capacity fading rate is0.5%per cy-cle.Moreover,the Coulombic efficiency of the electrode is very close to100%.All the electrochemical results indicate the good electrochemical performance of the V2O5hollow microspheres,which can be attributed to their structural advantages:(1)the hollow interiors can better accommo-date the volume change upon cycling;(2)the porous ex-terior shell allow the easy penetration of the electrolyte;(3) the large surface area can increase the contact area between electrode and electrolyte,which ensures the good rate ca-pability of the electrode materials. CONCLUSIONSIn summary,a novel synthesis strategy was reported for the fabrication of hollow structured V2O5microspheres.The microwave-assisted solvothermally synthesized solid vana-dium precursor microspheres can be converted into hollow structured V2O5microspheres under a thermally induced volume contraction process.The spherical morphology can be reserved after annealing.However,a porous exterior shell can be created.As a cathode material for lithium ion batteries,the V2O5hollow microspheres exhibit good elec-trochemical performance,including high capacity,good rate capability and cycling stability.Received4April2016;accepted30May2016;published online26July20161Wang Y,Cao G.Synthesis and enhanced intercalation properties of nanostructured vanadium oxides.Chem
