This study reports a highly compressible spongy carbon nanofibers composite anode, which demonstrates abundant porous structure, compressible capability, and superior cycling performance. The self-standing anodes of compressible SnO2@spongy carbon nanofibers and SiO2@spongy carbon nanofibers exhibit excellent cycling ability under compressed state.
The state-of-the-art electronics promote the development of flexible and deformable batteries, which rely on design of advanced structure batteries and fabrication of suitable electrode materials. The current flexible electronics are generally limited by rigidity and nondeformable electrodes. Herein, this work reports an exceeding compressible spongy carbon nanofibers composite anode which was fabricated by electrospinning and gas-forming techniques. The abundant macro/micro porous and loss structure of spongy layers enable the composite electrode exhibited compressible capability and faster ions infiltration ability. And the nest morphology of spongy carbon nanofibers network promised stable conductivity and superior cycling performance of self-standing anodes. The compressible SnO2@spongy carbon nanofibers and SiO2@spongy carbon nanofibers self-standing anode exhibited outstanding cycling ability before 300 cycles under compressed state, with a capacity of 350 and 398 mA h g(-1), respectively. Notably, the stress and strain of compressible spongy composite electrode are 370 kPa and 92%, separately, with recovery ability. The compressible spongy anode is highly recommended for flexible electrochemical energy storage devices and the novel gas-forming technique is a potential method for fabrication of multi morphology electrode.
