Abstract

The known vanadium oxides have been examined as cathode materials in ambient temperature nonaqueous secondary lithium cells. The discharge products have also been chemically prepared and characterized by x‐ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and magnetic susceptibility. The best cathode materials are and a slightly oxygen‐rich . Electrochemical and chemical preparations afford . The is described as an insertion compound of .
