The layered structure of phase-pure LiV3O8 nanosheets was synthesized.
The cathodic peak at −0.385 V and anodic peak at −0.322 V was observed.
LiV3O8 nanosheets performed a high initial specific capacitance of 288 F g−1.
The specific capacitance after 10, 40, 100 cycles was respectively 218, 131, 98 F g−1.
