title: Nanoscroll buffered hybrid nanostructural VO2 (B) cathodes for high-rate and long-life lithium storage.
abstract: Hybrid nanostructural VO2 (B) composed of nanoscrolls, nanobelts and nanowires is synthesized through a hydrothermal-driven splitting and self-rolled method. The hybrid nanostructure with nanoscroll buffered effect provides facile strain relaxation for swelling during lithiation/delithiation, resulting in the excellent structural stability and cyclability. The interior of nanoscrolls and the interconnected voids shorten the ion diffusion pathway, which greatly enhances the rate performance.
