The nanofibers were used as lithium-ion battery anodes to combine the advantages of carbon (long cycle life) and silicon (high storage capacity) materials. The effects of Si particle size, Si content, and carbonization temperature on the structure and electrochemical performance of the anodes were investigated. Results show that anodes made from a 15 wt.% Si/PAN precursor with a Si particle size of 30–50 nm and carbonization temperature of 800 °C exhibit the best performance in terms of high capacity and stable cycling behavior. It is demonstrated that with careful structure control, Si/C composite nanofiber anodes are a promising material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.}, journal={CARBON}, author={Li, Ying and Guo, Bingkun and Ji, Liwen and Lin, Zhan and Xu, Guanjie and Liang, Yinzheng and Zhang, Shu and Toprakci, Ozan and Hu, Yi and Alcoutlabi, Mataz and et al.}, year={2013}, month={Jan}, pages={185–194} }

Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and elemental analysis were used to study the morphology and composition of α-Fe(2)O(3)-carbon nanofiber composites. It was indicated that α-Fe(2)O(3) nanoparticles with an average size of about 20 nm have a homogeneous dispersion along the carbon nanofiber surface. The resultant α-Fe(2)O(3)-carbon nanofiber composites were used directly as the anode material in rechargeable lithium half cells, and their electrochemical performance was evaluated. The results indicated that these α-Fe(2)O(3)-carbon nanofiber composites have high reversible capacity, good capacity retention, and acceptable rate capability when used as anode materials for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.}, number={5}, journal={ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES}, publisher={American Chemical Society (ACS)}, author={Ji, Liwen and Toprakci, Ozan and Alcoutlabi, Mataz and Yao, Yingfang and Li, Ying and Zhang, Shu and Guo, Bingkun and Lin, Zhan and Zhang, Xiangwu}, year={2012}, month={May}, pages={2672–2679} }

The first composite consists of Li4Ti5O12 nanoparticles and aggregates coated by carbon and connected by carbon nanofibers. The second composite is constructed solely by Li4Ti5O12/C fibers. These two composites are denoted as Li4Ti5O12/C particles/fibers and Li4Ti5O12/C fibers, respectively. It is found that both composites show higher reversible capacities and better rate performance than commercial Li4Ti5O12 nanoparticles. Comparing the two electrospun composites, Li4Ti5O12/C fibers exhibit higher reversible capacity, greater rate capacity, and smaller electrode polarization, indicating that Li4Ti5O12/C fibers have better kinetics than Li4Ti5O12/C particles/fibers due to the elimination of Li4Ti5O12 aggregates and the formation of carbon-based fiber structure.}, journal={SOLID STATE IONICS}, author={Guo, Bingkun and Li, Ying and Yao, Yingfang and Lin, Zhan and Ji, Liwen and Xu, Guangjie and Liang, Yinzheng and Shi, Quan and Zhang, Xiangwu}, year={2011}, month={Dec}, pages={61–65} }
