The effect of Ti incorporation on lithium intercalation capacity of V2O5 thin films prepared by spin coating using metalorganic (MO) and inorganic sol-gel (SG) precursors on indium tin oxide coated glass substrates have been investigated. Earlier studies show that V2O5-TiO2 oxide system has a higher cyclic stability than V2O5. However, there is controversy concerning the capacity of these mixed phases. We observe that upon incorporation of 5% Ti in MO films the lithium intercalation capacity decreases from 47 mC/cm(2) to 27 mC/cm(2) while for the SG films, the capacity increases from 14 mC/cm(2) to 27 mC/cm(2). We attribute this difference in the lithium intercalation capacity of the 5% Ti doped V2O5 films prepared by MO and SG precursors to the variation in the nonstoichiometry and the particle size. We find that it is essential to have a critical V:O ratio to achieve high intercalation capacity. Any deviations from this critical V:O ratio leads to a decrease in capacity and films having similar nonstoichiometry have similar values of intercalation capacity and diffusion coefficient.
