These materials exhibited large reversible Accepted 10 June 2013 capacity, high rate performance and excellent cycling stability. For instance, a reversible Available online 15 June 2013 capacity of V O –OMC composites was 536 mA h g1 after 180 cycles at a current density 2 3 of 0.1 A g1. The high electrochemical performance of the V O –OMC composites is attrib- 2 3 uted to the anchoring of nanoparticles on mesoporous carbon for improving the electro- chemical active of V2O3 particles for energy storage applications in high performance
