Research progress of Li_(1+x)V_3O_8 positive material for Li-ion battery

Li1 +xV3O8 has been extensively studied because of its possible application as a cathode material in rechargeable lithium batteries, due to its attractive electrochemical properties, such as low price, high specific energy and good cycle stability as Li -ion battery cathode. Recent progresses on synthesis and doping modification of Li1+xV3O8 positive material were reviewed in the paper. Emphasis was placed on the discussion of structures and electrochemical properties of the positive materials. And the development prospect of Li1+xV3O8 positive material was viewed too.
