Silver vanadium oxide

摘要

The invention provides a method for forming CSVO without the need for flowing O2 during its synthesis. A method of forming silver vanadium oxide in accordance with the present invention includes combining AgO with a vanadium-containing compound to form a mixture; and exposing the mixture to a sufficient temperature for a time effective to form silver vanadium oxide. The silver vanadium oxide produced in accordance with the invention may be used in the cathodes of electrochemical cells, particularly in implantable medical devices.
