Abstract: Spherical cobalt-doped or manganese-doped Li1+xV3O8 compound was synthesized via sol-gel method and spray drying method. The best doping content of Co or Mn was one percent (molar
ratio to V). The influence of heat treatment temperature on the structure and electrochemical properties of the doped Li1+xV3O8 was studied. The investigation of XRD, SEM and the determination
of the electrochemical properties show that the doping does not influence the looks and structure, and that the product obtained by sintering at 350℃ has better cycle performance at normal
temperature. Compared with Mn, Co has better doping effect.

Key words: lithium secondary battery, Li1+xV3O8, doping, spherical
