LiV₃O₈ layered structure was successfully synthesized by a conventional solid-state approach and subsequent heat-treated at 400, 450, 500 and 550 ºC. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, BET. Electrochemical performance of LiV₃O₈ was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge. The results showed that high purity of LiV3O8 with layered structure was formed. The morphology of the samples were mixed between nanorods and nanosheets structure. For electrochemical performance, results showed that LiV₃O₈ heat-treated at 500 ºC performed a highest charge and discharge capacity of 212 and 172 mAh g-1, respectively. From electrochemical performance results made them a good candidate for cathode material for lithium-ion batteries application.

Layered nanosheets of a LiV₃O₈ cathode material were successfully prepared via a modified solid-state synthesis. The morphological changes of the layered nanosheets of the LiV₃O₈ cathode, which resulted from preparation at different temperatures, strongly affected the electrochemical performance of this cathode material. The layered nanosheets of the LiV₃O₈ cathode prepared at 500 °C delivered the highest electrochemical performance with initial charge and discharge capacities of 212 and 175 mAh g−1, respectively, when cycled between 1.5 and 4.0 V versus Li/Li+. The particulate morphology of LiV₃O₈ showed widths in a range of 100-145 nm and lengths between 1.0 and 2.5 µm. The layered nanosheet structure contributed to the increased electrochemical performance of LiV₃O₈ as a cathode material for applications in high-energy lithium-ion batteries.
