In this work, orthorhombic Li3VO4 with the controllable morphology has been synthesized by tuning the solvent composition (volume ratios of ethanol to deionized water) in a solvothermal approach. The resulting Li3VO4 samples with various morphologies (coral-shaped particle, self-assembled hierarchic...
