A novel network of spindle-like carbon nanofibers was fabricated via a simplified synthesis involving electrospinning followed by preoxidation in air and postcarbonization in Ar. Not only was the as-obtained carbon network comprised of beads of spindle-like nanofibers but the cubic MnO phase and N elements were successfully anchored into the amorphous carbon matrix. When directly used as a binder-free anode for lithium-ion batteries, the network showed excellent electrochemical performance with high capacity, good rate capacity and reliable cycling stability. Under a current density of 0.2 A g−1, it delivered a high reversible capacity of 875.5 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles and 1005.5 mAh g−1 after 250 cycles with a significant coulombic efficiency of 99.5%.

Si/C composites were synthesized by using graphite and glucose as carbon source. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope(SEM). The electrochemical charge/discharge test was used to evaluate capacity and cycling stability of the composites. The first discharge and charge capacity of SGC composite using graphite and glucose as carbon source were 1661mAh/g and 1259.1 mAh/g, and the first coulombic efficiency was 75.8%. After 20 cycles, the capacity of SGC composite was 380 mAh/g and the coulombic efficiency remained over 98%.

Abstract Without using any templates, a ternary MoS2/graphene/carbon nanotubes (MoS2/GN/CNT) aerogel compostie is prepared by convenient hydrothermal synthesis method. The free-standing MoS2/GN/CNT aerogel can be cut directly as binder free electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. The MoS2/GN/CNT electrodes can hold as high as 695 and 579 mAh g−1 discharge capacities after 200 cycles at 200 mA g−1 in MoS2/GN/CNT//Li half cells and MoS2/GN/CNT//LiCoO2 full-cells, respectively. The strengthened electrochemical properities are owed by the thin GN/CNT layers and their jagged and wrinkled surfaces, which can enhance the composite conductivity and shorten the Li+ diffusion distance, as well as buffer the volume change of electrodes druing the charge-discharge cycles.

To overcome the risk of exothermic lithium-ion battery overheating reactions, we fabricated a novel, high-temperature-stable anode material composed of holey reduced graphene oxide/polystyrene (HRGO/PS) nanocomposites synthesized through in situ bulk polymerization in the presence of HRGO via microwave irradiation. The HRGO/PS nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and electron microscopy analyses including field-emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. All characterization studies demonstrated homogenous dispersion of HRGO in the PS matrix, which enhanced the thermal and electrical properties of the overall nanocomposites. These novel HRGO/PS nanocomposites exhibited excellent electrochemical responses, with reversible charge/discharge capacities of 92.1/92.78 mA·h/g at a current density of 500 mA/g with ~100% capacity retention and ~100% coulombic efficiency at room temperature. Furthermore, an examination of the electrochemical properties of these nanocomposites at 110 °C showed that HRGO/PS nanocomposites still displayed good charge/discharge capacities with stable cycle performances for 150 cycles.
