Abstract

Herein, polycrystalline Nb2O5 nanoparticles including pseudo-hexagonal (TT-), orthorhombic (T-), tetragonal (M-) and monoclinic (H-) phases are uniformly anchored onto graphene sheets through a polyol-mediated solvothermal reaction and post heat-treatment, enabling us to discuss the effect of Nb2O5 crystalline phases on Li+ intercalation process. Electrochemical results show that Li+ intercalation into M- and H-Nb2O5 are also capacitive behavior, exhibiting higher capacity of 650
