Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Hydrated Layered Vanadium(III) Phosphate Phase K3V3(PO4)4·H2O: A Functional Cathode Material for Potassium-Ion Batteries.Hydrated vanadium(III) phosphate, K3V3(PO4)4·H2O, has been synthesized by a facile aqueous hydrothermal reaction.  In the present study, the synthesis conditions, structural parameters, and electrochemical properties (vs K/K+) of K3V3(PO4)4·H2O are clarified along with further physical characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
