Structure and electronic properties of Li-doped vanadium oxide nanotubes

The influence of Li-doping on the mixed-valent vanadium oxide nanotubes has been investigated using electron energy loss spectroscopy. In particular, the electron diffraction profiles and the vanadium L excitation edges have been studied. We observe that the structure of the vanadium oxide nanotubes...

Description
Summary:The influence of Li-doping on the mixed-valent vanadium oxide nanotubes has been investigated using electron energy loss spectroscopy. In particular, the electron diffraction profiles and the vanadium L excitation edges have been studied. We observe that the structure of the vanadium oxide nanotubes is stable against electron transfer upon Li-doping. Excitations at the vanadium L edges show features which are associated with a reduction of the vanadium valency.
