Today, coaxial core-shell structure has attracted wide attention due to its ability to accommodate the volume changes of tin (core), which is well encapsulated in the carbon matrix (shell). Coaxial electrospinning is a simple and effective method to prepare this kind of material. In this work, tin was dispersed in the carbon core and then coated a carbon shell to form Sn@C/C nanofibers by coaxial electrospinning. Flow ratio and tin content were investigated as two main critical factors for controlling the core/shell structure, so as to improve the cycling preference of tin anodes. When tested as a lithium-ion battery anode, the material not only showed higher reversible specific capacity (626 mAh g−1) than pure carbon nanofibers, but also exhibited better cycling performance (50 cycles with 73% capacity retention), indicating that the volume change problem of tin anodes has been well resolved by this morphology control.}, journal={ELECTROCHIMICA ACTA}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Xia, Xin and Wang, Xin and Zhou, Huiming and Niu, Xiao and Xue, Leigang and Zhang, Xiangwu and Wei, Qufu}, year={2014}, month={Mar}, pages={345–351} }

The volume changes induce cracks and loss of inter-particle electronic contact in the electrode, resulting in rapid capacity decay. The use of fiber-like materials to prevent cracks and accommodate volume changes is widely observed in many animal and human activities. Birds mix grass and feathers into mud to build nests, and humans in ancient times blended straw with mud to produce adobe bricks for housing construction. In view of this point, this research designed a porous nanofiber structure to resolve the unstable structure problem of anode materials. The three-dimensional network structure composed of nanofibers provides a highly elastic matrix to accommodate the volume changes of high-capacity Sn and Sb particles and pores around the active particles, induced by CO2 evolution, serve as an additional buffer zone for the volume changes. This unique structure prepared by using a new SnSb alloy precursor and a simple electrospinning technique leads to excellent lithium storage performance in terms of energy density, cycling stability, and rate capability.}, number={44}, journal={JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A}, author={Xue, Leigang and Xia, Xin and Tucker, Telpriore and Fu, Kun and Zhang, Shu and Li, Shuli and Zhang, Xiangwu}, year={2013}, pages={13807–13813} }

Therefore, lithium-ion batteries with higher energy densities are in urgent need. For high-energy cathodes, Li2MnO3–LiMO2 layered–layered (M = Mn, Co, Ni) materials are of significant interest due to their high specific capacities over wide operating potential windows. Here, three Li2MnO3-based cathode materials with α-NaFeO2 structure were prepared by a facile co-precipitation method and subsequent heat treatment. Among these three materials, 0.3Li2MnO3·0.5LiMn0.5Ni0.5O2·0.2LiCoO2 shows the best lithium storage capability. This cathode material is composed of uniform nanosized particles with diameters ranging from 100 to 200 nm, and it could be charged to a high cutoff potential to extract more lithium, resulting in a high capacity of 178 mAh g−1 between 2.0 and 4.6 V with almost no capacity loss over 100 cycles.}, journal={JOURNAL OF ALLOYS AND COMPOUNDS}, author={Xue, Leigang and Zhang, Shu and Li, Shuli and Lu, Yao and Toprakci, Ozan and Xia, Xin and Chen, Chen and Hu, Yi and Zhang, Xiangwu}, year={2013}, month={Nov}, pages={560–563} }
