The invention relates to a
sodium ion pre-embedded MoO3 nanobelt as well as a preparation method and application of the
sodium ion pre-embedded MoO3 nanobelt. The
sodium ion pre-embedded MoO3 nanobelt can be used as a positive
electrode active material of a
lithium ion battery. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) adding MoO3 nanobelt, PEG4000 and NaCl into deionized water, and stirring; (2) transferring the solution into a reaction kettle, carrying out
hydrothermal reaction, taking out the solution, and cooling to the
room temperature; and (3) after carrying out
centrifugal separation on the obtained product, repeatedly washing the product with deionized water and
ethanol, and finally
drying the product in a
drying box, so as to obtain the sodium ion pre-embedded MoO3 nanobelt. The preparation method has the beneficial effects that sodium ions are pre-embedded among
layers, so that the substantial attenuation of the capacity in a primary cycle period is avoided, the electrochemical property of MoO3 is improved, the
conductivity of the material is improved, furthermore, the
cycling stability of the
electrode material is effectively improved, and the
electrode material can be used as a potential application material of the
lithium ion battery, can meet the requirements of
green chemistry and is beneficial to market promotion.
