Mechanically flexible walnut shell-derived carbon nanofibers (CNFs) of 175 nm diameter were fabricated from a liquefied walnut shell—polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hybrid solutionviaconventional electrospinning followed by one-step carbonization.
Mixed metal vanadate oxides are promising superior anode materials for lithium ion batteries due to their high specific capacities, improved cycling performance and excellent rate properties.
To enable electrospun polyacrylonitrile-based C nanofibers (CNFs) to be employed as anode materials in flexible Li-ion batteries, it is essential to overcome their frangibility and enhance their flexibility.
One-pot electrospinning developed carbon nanofibers containing high-capacity Si and ultrafine Ni particles surrounded by graphene layers as anode materials.
