ABSTRACTThe Mössbauer spectroscopy is an efficient experimental tool to study lithium insertion mechanisms in negative electrodes of Li-ion batteries at the atomic scale. However, a quantitative interpretation of the experimental data is often difficult due to the complexity of the spectra and we propose to use first-principle calculations of the hyperfine parameters. Three different types of negative electrode materials are considered. First, the experimental 119Sn Mössbauer spectrum obtained for the insertion of 3.5 Li into SnO is compared to the theoretical spectrum, which clearly establishes the existence of Li-Sn stable phases. Then, the analysis of the 121Sb Mössbauer spectra for metal antimonides at the end of the first discharge shows different behaviours depending on the lithium rate. Finally, tin and iron doped titanates are considered to study changes in Ti local environments during lithium insertion.

The development of smart negative electrode materials with high capacitance for the uses in supercapacitors remains challenging. Although several types of electrode materials with high capacitance in energy storage have been reported, carbon-based materials are the most reliable electrodes due to their high conductivity, high power density, and excellent stability. The most common complaint about general carbon materials is that these electrode materials can hardly ever be used as free-standing electrodes. Free-standing carbon-based electrodes are in high demand and are a passionate topic of energy storage research. Electrospun nanofibers are a potential candidate to fill this gap. However, the as-spun carbon nanofibers (ECNFs) have low capacitance and low energy density on their own. To overcome the limitations of pure CNFs, increasing surface area, heteroatom doping and metal doping have been chosen. In this review, we introduce the negative electrode materials that have been developed so far. Moreover, this review focuses on the advances of electrospun nanofiber-based negative electrode materials and their limitations. We put forth a future perspective on how these limitations can be overcome to meet the demands of next-generation smart devices.
