Manipulating Hierarchical Orientation of Wet-Spun Hybrid Fibers via Rheological Engineering for Zn-Ion Fiber Batteries

Zhou Xia et al.

Summary: Wet-spinning is a promising strategy for fabricating fiber electrodes for commercial fiber batteries due to its compatibility with large-scale production. However, regulating the rheological properties of electrochemical materials for wet-spinning remains a challenge. In this study, the rheological behavior of V2O5 nanowire dispersions was controlled by introducing graphene oxide (GO) flakes, leading to the successful fabrication of wet-spun V2O5/rGO hybrid fibers with excellent performance for zinc-ion storage. These fibers were integrated into a wearable self-powered system with high overall efficiency.

Evolution of polyacrylonitrile precursor fibers and the effect of stretch profile in wet spinning

Jeremy D. Moskowitz et al.

Summary: Wet spinning of polyacrylonitrile-based polymers is a common technique to manufacture carbon fiber precursors. Understanding the role of stretch profile on structural evolution will support efforts to reduce cost and improve process robustness. Fiber stretch generally occurs in three sequential stages: jet stretch, wet stretch (first draw), and hot draw (second draw). In this study, total fiber stretch was kept constant, but distributed differently across the stretch stages yielding three different fiber variants. Samples were collected and analyzed after each stretch stage in order to correlate process parameters to structural information. For all variants, orientation of the ordered phase increases gradually for each stage of stretch while activation energy for the structural relaxation decreases. Alternatively, crystallite size increases substantially during hot draw, which is shown to have the most pronounced effect on cyclization behavior. Given the process conditions, the variant with the lowest jet stretch and highest hot draw demonstrates the highest tenacity and modulus along with the greatest orientation, crystallite size, and highest peak exotherm temperature.
