Hierarchical silicon nanowires-carbon textiles matrix as a binder-free anode for high-performance advanced lithium-ion batteries

Toward the increasing demands of portable energy storage and electric vehicle applications, the widely used graphite anodes with significant drawbacks become more and more unsuitable. Herein, we report a novel scaffold of hierarchical silicon nanowires-carbon textiles anodes fabricated via a facile method. Further, complete lithium-ion batteries based on Si and commercial LiCoO2 materials were ...

Aqueous Binder Enhanced High-Performance GeP5 Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries

GeP5 is a recently reported new anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), it holds a large theoretical capacity about 2300 mAh g-1, and a high rate capability due to its bi-active components and superior conductivity. However, it undergoes a large volume change during its electrochemical alloying and de-alloying with Li, a suitable binder is necessary to stable the electrode integrity fo...

Hierarchical NiMoO4 nanowire arrays supported on macroporous graphene foam as binder-free 3D anodes for high-performance lithium storage.

Novel three-dimensional (3D) NiMoO4 nanowire arrays (NWAs) grown directly onto the surface of macroporous graphene foams (GF) with robust adhesion were synthesized via a facile chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and subsequent hydrothermal route. The as-prepared NiMoO4 nanowires are composed of ultra-small nanoparticles (∼5 nm) with a diameter of 70-150 nm and are several micrometers in length. Su...

Growth of Hierarchal Mesoporous NiO Nanosheets on Carbon Cloth as Binder-free Anodes for High-performance Flexible Lithium-ion Batteries

Mesoporous NiO nanosheets were directly grown on three-dimensional (3D) carbon cloth substrate, which can be used as binder-free anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). These mesoporous nanosheets were interconnected with each other and forming a network with interval voids, which give rise to large surface area and efficient buffering of the volume change. The integrated hierarchical electrode...
