Abstract: Cu doped V2O5·xH2O nanostructures have been synthesized by the reaction between peroxovanadic acid and copper acetic under hydrothermal conditions without the aid of any template and surfactant. The morphologies of Cu doped V2O5·xH2O nanostructures can be adjusted by controlling the molar ratio of Cu and V in the reagents. As the concentration of copper acetic increases, nanobelts can be changed into urchin- like nanostructures composed of radially aligned nanorods, which can be an important candidate of cathode materials for lithium batteries. The electrochemical test shows that discharge specific capacity of Cu doped V2O5·xH2O nanostructures is related to the Cu content. Cu doped V2O5·xH2O nanostructures with Cu/V molar ratio of 0.65 exhibit an initial high discharge specific capacity of 290 mAhg-1 in the potential range of 1.5–3.8 V and the capacity remains 150 mAhg-1 after 20 cycles.
