Synthesis and electrochemical performance of LiVO3 anode materials for full vanadium-based lithium-ion batteries

•We synthesized LiVO3 nanoparticles via a facile one step sintering process.•A vanadium-based full cell LiVO3|| Li3V2(PO4)3 is assembled for the first time.•The full cell displays a stable cycling peformance and good rate ability. LiVO3 is prepared by the combustion method and applied as anode material for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The LiVO3 electrode material shows excellent electrochemical performance in the voltage window of 0.2-3V. It displays a high specific capacity and capable capacity retention. Moreover, a full vanadium-based cell is designed based on the LiVO3 anode and Li3V2(PO4)3 cathode. The full cell presents a stable cycling performance and good rate ability. This work suggests a potential vanadium-based anode material and the possibility of the full vanadium-based cell.
