Oxygen vacancies have been shown to enhance lithium-ion diffusion kinetics in Li2GeO3-x/C, leading to improved lithium storage. The introduction of oxygen vacancies increases electronic conductivity and reduces the activation energy of lithium-ion transport, resulting in accelerated lithium-ion diffusion kinetics during charging and discharging processes. The Li2GeO3-x/C nanofibers exhibit high discharge capacity, initial Coulombic efficiency, and rate capability, demonstrating the potential of injecting oxygen vacancies into metal oxides for high-performance anode materials.
Oxygen vacancies play a positive role in optimizing the physical and chemical properties of metal oxides. In this work, we demonstrated oxygen vacancy-promoted enhancement of Li-ion diffusion kinetics in Li2GeO3 nanoparticle-encapsulated carbon nanofibers (denoted as Li2GeO3-x/C) and accordingly boosted lithium storage. The introduction of the oxygen vacancies in Li2GeO3-x/C can enhance electronic conductivity and evidently decrease activation energy of Li-ion transport, thus resulting in evidently accelerated Li-ion diffusion kinetics during the lithiation/delithiation process. Thus, the Li2GeO3-x/C nanofibers exhibit an exceptionally large discharge capacity of 1460.5 mA h g(-1) at 0.1 A g(-1), high initial Coulombic efficiency of 81.3%, and excellent rate capability. This facile and efficient strategy could provide a reference for injecting the oxygen vacancies into other metal oxides for high-performance anode materials.
