Аннотация:Electrochemical properties of V2Og xerogels with different preparation history were investigated. It was found that electrochemical characteristics of electrode materials based on the xerogels are drastically different in the processes of Li+ intercalation - deintercalation as dependent on the manner of xerogel drying. Particularly cryochemical technology gives xerogels with an improved microstructure and functional properties as compared to conventional preparation approaches.
