The addition of nanosized carbon as a conductive additive offered improved initial discharge capacity of 121 mAh/g between 3.5-2.0 V vs Li/Li. The cause for such an increase could be firmly attributed to the filling up of the grain-grain contact area of the active material, facilitating the intimate grain-grain contacts in the composite structure leading to enhanced capacity delivery. As for the nanocomposite Li x Co2(MoO4)3, it was found that at least 55% of its first discharge capacity was retained at the end of 20th cycle compared to its analogous counterpart, Li x Ni 2(MoO4)3. © 2007 Springer-Verlag. date: 2007 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-36448944309&doi=10.1007%2fs11581-007-0140-9&partnerID=40&md5=45056e6a1139e96a657ddfbae5c5b4b1 id_number: 10.1007/s11581-007-0140-9 full_text_status: none publication: Ionics volume: 13 number: 6 pagerange: 467-471 refereed: TRUE issn: 09477047 citation: Begam, K.M. and Michael, M.S. and Prabaharan, S.R.S.
