For the fabrication of flexible full lithium ion batteries (FLIBs), suitable anode material is highly demanded. Iron nitrides hold great promise as anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) due to their large specific capacity and high electrical conductivity. However, their poor electrochemical stability severely limits their application as electrode material for LIBs. In this article, we synthesize binder-free Fe2N nanoparticles (Fe2N NPs) as high performance freestanding anode for LIBs. When tested in a half-cell, the binder-free Fe2N NPs delivered a high reversible capacity of 900 mAh/g. At high current density of 6000 mA/g, the binder-free Fe2N NPs exhibits excellent cyclic stability with 76% capacity retention after 300 cycles. We also demonstrated high power and energy density FLIB based on Fe2N NPs anode and LiCoO2 cathode for the first time. The Fe2M//LiCoO2 FLIB device shows attractive electrochemical performance and high flexibility. More importantly, Fe2N/ /LiCoO2 FLIB device achieved a high power density of 3200 W/kg and a high energy density of 688 Wh/kg. These values are substantially enhanced compared to most of the reported LIB devices. This work constitutes the first demonstration of using Fe2N NPs as high performance anode, which could potentially improve the performance of energy storage devices. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
