A novel finding, that the calcined weathered stones (denoted as CWS) can be employed as the anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), is reported for the first time in this work. Under the air conditions, the weathered stones were respectively calcined at 400ºC (sample a), 600ºC (sample b) and 800ºC (sample c) for 2 h, with an intention to examine the influence of the calcination temperature on the physicochemical properties of the resultant materials. XRD results indicated that the main components of all the final products were SiO2. And the SEM images demonstrated that all the as-prepared samples were irregular and larger particles with no evident crystal structure. The results of the electrochemical measurements revealed that the initial discharge capacity of sample b was about 104 mAh g-1 at the current density of 100 mA g-1, which was remarkably larger than that of the employed pure SiO2 (50 mAh g-1). Interestingly, after 20 cycles, the discharge capacity of sample b was still maintained as high as 70 mAh g-1, along with a capacity retention rate of about 70%. Although the discharge capacity reported here was lower as compared to the currently reported anode materials, this novel finding was very meaningful to the large scale production of anode materials, mainly due to the rather lower cost and abundant resources as well as the simple preparation process.

Fe 3 O 4/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) nanocomposites are successfully prepared by a facile hydrothermal method, without any reducing agents. SEM shows that the CNTs are dispersed well in the Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles of 50 to 100 nm in size. The electrochemical properties of the prepared nanocomposites as anode materials are further evaluated by galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Results show that the nanocomposites display an initial discharge capacity of 1421 mAh⋅g-1 and maintain 1100 mAh⋅g-1 up to 40 cycles in the voltage of 0.005–3.0 V at 100 mAh⋅g-1. When the current density is to 0.5, 1, 2, 5 and 1 C, the nanocomposites still exhibit discharge capacity of 1615.8, 817.0, 585.0, 391.0 and (585.0 ± 45.0) mAh⋅g-1, respectively, which are potential for anode materials in lithium-ion batteries.

AbstractTransition metal oxides (TMOs) are considered as promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries in comparison with conventional graphite anode. However, TMO anodes suffer severe volume expansion during charge/discharge process. In this respect, a porous Fe2O3 nanorod-decorated hollow carbon nanofiber (HNF) anode is designed via a combined electrospinning and hydrothermal method followed by proper annealing. FeOOH/PAN was prepared as precursors and sacrificial templates, and porous hollow Fe2O3@carbon nanofiber (HNF-450) composite is formed at 450 °C in air. As anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, HNF-450 exhibits outstanding rate performance and cycling stability with a reversible discharge capacity of 1398 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g−1. Specific capacities 1682, 1515, 1293, 987, and 687 mAh g−1 of HNF-450 are achieved at multiple current densities of 200, 300, 500, 1000, and 2000 mA g−1, respectively. When coupled with commercial LiCoO2 cathode, the full cell delivered an outstanding initial charge/discharge capacity of 614/437 mAh g−1 and stability at different current densities. The improved electrochemical performance is mainly attributed to the free space provided by the unique porous hollow structure, which effectively alleviates the volume expansion and facilitates the exposure of more active sites during the lithiation/delithiation process. Graphical abstract Porous Fe2O3 nanorod-decorated hollow carbon nanofibers exhibit outstanding rate performance and cycling stability with a high reversible discharge capacity.

Cu@Si core–shell nanowire thin films with a Cu3Si interface between the Cu and Si were synthesized by slurry casting and subsequent magnetron sputtering and investigated as anode materials for lithium ion batteries. In this constructed core–shell architecture, the Cu nanowires were connected to each other or to the Cu foil, forming a three-dimensional electron-conductive network and as mechanical support for the Si during cycling. Meanwhile, the Cu3Si layer can enhance the interface adhesion strength of the Cu core and Si shell; a large amount of void spaces between the Cu@Si nanowires could accommodate the lithiation-induced volume expansion and facilitate electrolyte impregnation. As a consequence, this electrode exhibits impressive electrochemical properties: the initial discharge capacity and initial coulombic efficiency is 3193 mAh/g and 87%, respectively. After 500 cycles, the discharge capacity is about 948 mAh/g, three times that of graphite, corresponding to an average capacity fading rate of 0.2% per cycle.
