Cu2Nb34O87/NSC nanowires prepared by electrospinning combined with surface coating exhibit excellent capacity and cycling stability, showing potential to be a candidate material for the anode in lithium-ion batteries.
With the development of electric vehicles, more and more attention has been paid to the kinetic performance of batteries, which is related to rapid charge/discharge and safety issues. To improve this aspect, Cu2Nb34O87 nanowires covered by nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon (Cu2Nb34O87/NSC nanowires) are prepared by electrospinning combined with surface coating. As-prepared Cu2Nb34O87/NSC nanowires present a high ion diffusion coefficient and electronic conductivity, showing good a kinetic performance. Specifically, they deliver a splendid capacity of 311.2 mA h g(-1) at 1 C and a superior cycling stability with a capacity fading of 0.031% per cycle upon 1000 cycles. At the same time, the electrochemical and structural reversibility is fully discussed and demonstrated by ex situ XRD, ex situ SEM and ex situ XPS based on the redox couples of Cu2+/Cu+, Nb5+/Nb4+, and Nb4+/Nb3+. Contributing to peculiar physico-chemical properties, Cu2Nb34O87/NSC nanowires are expected to be a candidate material for the anode in lithium-ion batteries.
