Abstract Defect engineering have profound influence on the energy storage properties of electrode hybrids by adjusting their intrinsic electronic characteristics. For iron carbide based materials, however, the effect of defect (especially cation vacancies) toward their electrochemical performance are still unclear. Herein, the feasible and scalable synthesis of FexC@NC with 3D honeycomb-like carbon architecture and abundant Fe vacancies via template etching is reported. Such structure enable outstanding lithium-ion storage properties owing to hierarchical pores, improved intrinsic electrochemical activity, as well as the introduction of more active sites. As a result, the FexC@NC-2 presents a high reversible specific capacity of 1079 mAh g−1 after 1000 cycles. Moreover, an excellent cycling stability can be achieved via maintaining a high-capacity retention (689 mAh g−1, 98.4%) over 1000 cycles at 5 A g−1. This study provides a feasible strategy for developing high-performance hybrids with hierarchical pore and rich defects structures.

ABSTRACTThis study reports a high-performance tin (Sn)-coated vertically aligned carbon nanofiber array anode for lithium-ion batteries. The array electrodes have been prepared by coaxial sputter-coating of tin (Sn) shells on vertically aligned carbon nanofiber (VACNF) cores. The robust brush-like highly conductive VACNFs effectively connect high-capacity Sn shells for lithium-ion storage. A high specific capacity of 815 mAh g-1 of Sn was obtained at C/20 rate, reaching toward the maximum value of Sn. However, the electrode shows poor cycling performance with conventional LiPF6 based organic electrolyte. The addition of fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) improve the performance significantly and the Sn-coated VACNFs anode shows stable cycling performance. The Sn-coated VACNF array anodes exhibit outstanding capacity retention in the half-cell tests with electrolyte containing 10 wt.% FEC and could deliver a reversible capacity of 480 mAh g-1 after 50 cycles at C/3 rate.

ABSTRACTThis study reports a high-performance hybrid lithium-ion anode material using coaxially coated silicon shells on vertically aligned carbon nanofiber (VACNF) cores. The robust bush-like highly conductive VACNFs effectively connect high-capacity silicon shells for lithium-ion storage. Such architecture allows the Si shells to freely expand/contract in the radial direction during lithium-ion insertion/extraction. A high specific capacity of 3000-3650 mAh(gSi)-1 was obtained at C/1 rate, comparable to the maximum value of amorphous Si, and ∼89% of the capacity was retained after 100 charge-discharge cycles. The lithium-ion storage capacity remains nearly the same from C/10 to C/0.5 rates. The ability to obtain high capacity at significantly improved power rates while maintaining the extraordinary cycle stability demonstrates the utilization of the unique properties of such hybrid architecture for lithium-ion batteries.

High-performance robust CNT–graphene–Si composites are designed as anode materials with enhanced rate capability and excellent cycling stability for lithium-ion batteries. Such an improvement is mainly attributed to the robust sponge-like architecture, which holds great promise in future practical applications.
