Si/carbon nanofibers (Si/CNFs) composite used as the anode materials of lithium-ion battery have been prepared via electrospinning and calcinations treatment. Hydrofluoric acid is used to remove surface oxides of Si particles. SEM observation indicates that silicon particles are uniformly embedded in the carbon nanofibers. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Raman scattering have been used to analysis the composition and phase of the composite materials. The first reversible capacity of the Si/CNFs composite is 1004 mAh/g, and 390 mAh/g has been remained after 100 cycles. Such Si/CNFs composite could be a promising anode material in lithium ion batteries.

Pure CuC2O4·xH2O and CuC2O4·xH2O/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composites are synthesized by a low-temperature hydrothermal process. The structure and morphology of the products are analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and Raman spectrum. The results demonstrate that the as-prepared CuC2O4·xH2O takes on a microsphere-like morphology, all CuC2O4·xH2O/CNTs nanocomposites are constructed by the intertwining of tabular CuC2O4·xH2O nanoparticles (NPs) and CNTs to form a tanglesome net. When evaluated as an anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), all CuC2O4·xH2O/CNTs electrodes possess higher reversible discharge capacities (more than 1000 mAh g-1) than the pure CuC2O4·xH2O, up to 200th cycle at a current density of 100 mA g-1. The results illustrate that the addition of CNTs can enhance the electrochemical performance of CuC2O4·xH2O. Overall, CuC2O4·xH2O/CNTs composite can be a promising candidate used as a promising anode for LIBs.

ABSTRACTMolybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanostructures with three different morphologies are synthesized and tested with respect to their applicability in lithium ion batteries. Thereby, electrolytes based on ionic liquids are used. The electrochemical performance of nanostructures and thin films is compared to evaluate the influence of the morphology. Characterization methods include X-Ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic cycling and thin film calorimetry. The thin film and the nanostructured samples show a reversible capacity of 525 mAh/g and a maximum capacity 225 mAh/g, respectively.

In this paper, a novel bionic preparation of anode materials for lithium-ion batteries was reported. Butterfly wings were used as a template to prepare three-dimensional (3D) TiO2 anode materials. The final product of TiO2 anode materials maintained the 3D structure of butterfly wings perfectly. The morphology and crystal structure were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The electrochemical performance was evaluated by galvanostatic chargedischarge tests. The results showed that the novel 3D porous structure is benefit to the high electrochemical performance

Twist-shaped CuO nanowires were synthesized by two-step method consisting of solution reaction and then heat treatment. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). When evaluated as anode materials for lithium ion batteries, twist-shaped CuO nanowires showed a high initial discharge capacity of 983 mAh g−1and maintained a reversible capacity of 320 mAh g−1over 50 cycles at the current density of 100 mA g−1. Thus, 1D twist-shaped CuO nanowires provide a new insight into the development of anode materials for next-generation high performance lithium ion batteries.

Lithium alloying compounds as an anode materials have been a focused for high capacity lithium ion battery due to their highenergy capacity and safety characteristics. Here we report on the preparation of graphite-tin composite by using ball-milling in liquid media. The composite material has been characterized by scanning electron microscope, energy depressive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectra. The lithium-ion cell made from graphite-tin composite presented initial discharge capacity of 1065 mAh/g and charge capacity 538 mAh/g, which becomes 528 mAh/g in the second cycle. The composite of graphite-tin with higher capacity compared to pristine graphite is a promising alternative anode material for lithium-ion battery.
