RESUMO

In this work it was prepared and characterized structurally a new composite of vanadium pentoxide xerogel (XRG-V2O5) and gelatin in rate of 1 and 10% in weight (gelatin/V2O5). The xerogel obtained was submitted to drying (80, 200 or 300°C) under vacuum for 4 hours. The structural characterization consisted of X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, termogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) measures. Techniques of cyclic voltametry at low scan rate and chronopotenciometric curves also were applied to investigate the behavior of this xerogel front the electrointercalation of lithium ions. It was observed that the composites XRG-V2O5/gelatin have the same local structure of XRG-V2O5, being constituted by VO5 distorted square pyramids. The composites also show a two-dimensional organization with formation of layers, similar to the pristine XRG-V2O5. The gelatin is inserted in the material among the xerogel layers, and its presence alters the basal distance values significantly. This distance werent decreased with the temperature increase of thermal treatment. The gelatin also affects the degree of xerogel disorder. The results suggest that gelatin inside the material is in conformation according to H2O concentration at xerogel. The composites are able to insert lithium ions electrochemically. XRGV2O5/ gelatin prepared with 1% of gelatin, in particular the sample submitted to the thermal treatment to 200°C, provide higher specific capacities that those found in the literature for pristine XRG-V2O5 (specific capacities superiors than 120 mA.h/g). It was also verified that gelatin doesnt participate of charge transfer processes with lithium.
