“…Nanostructured fibers made from metals, metal oxides, polymers, ceramics, and composites have been developed for use in various energy storage devices such as high-performance rechargeable lithium (Li) batteries (e.g. Li-ion, Li-sulfur, and Li-air batteries), sodium (Na) , magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al) and zinc (Zn) batteries and supercapacitors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The popularity of these nanofibers stem from the many attributes such as; controllable fiber diameter, high surface areato-volume ratio, low density, and high pore volume [6,[19][20][21].…”

The quest to increase the energy density and improve the cycle life performance of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) and beyond has led to the development of various suitable and alternative materials for energy storage and conversion. The morphology and electrode architecture in advanced battery materials have been re-designed into nanofibers and composite nanofibers. Nanofiber-based separators and electrodes have been demonstrated to improve the energy density and cycling performance of LIBs. The improvement in the structure and morphology of nanofibers in Lithium ion batteries such as LiSi and LiSn, have once again ignited the interest in these Li:M alloys anode as an alternative anode and cathode materials. The major challenges that confront this new frontier has been the seemingly lack of scalable method among the various techniques and design nanofibers with good structure and morphology that could prevent dendrite penetrations. However, there seem to be a solution in sight with the advent of mass production techniques of nanofibers by electrospinning and centrifugal spinning (i.e. Forcespinning®) that have recently been developed. In this paper, the use of nanofibers and composite nanofibers as electrode and separator materials for lithium ion, Li-O2 and Li sulfur batteries is reviewed. The discussion focuses on the performance characteristics of these nanostructured electrode and separator materials and methods used to improve their performances.

Several phases of zinc vanadates having different morphologies have been investigated recently for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), where they suffer from poor electronic conductivity and low mechanical stability resulting in short cycle life, low specific capacity and unsatisfactory rate performance. The issues are resolved here, by directly growing Zn 3 V 2 O 8 sheets on two dimensional (2D) holey graphene oxide (hGO) nanosheets making an open framework of Zn 3 V 2 O 8 that allows suitable spacing for Li + -ions for (de) intercalation and the holey graphene provides the necessary mechanical strength, permeability and electronic conductivity across the Zn 3 V 2 O 8 sheets. Consequently, the sheet on sheet morphology has resulted in an impressive rate capability of 851.2 mAh g À1 at 5000 mA g À1 with 67% retention after a 10-fold increase in the current rate, high specific capacity (1465.9 mAh g À1 at 200 mA g À1 ) and long-term stability (88% retention after 200 cycles). This is due to the crystalline structure of Zn 3 V 2 O 8 /hGO, with a large surface area that can provide more reaction sites and facilitate the fast Li + -ion transport as verified by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis. The ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectrometer reveals the involvement of multiple reaction mechanisms (conversion, (de) insertion and (de) alloying) showing Zn 2+ /Zn 0 and V 4+ /V 3+ /V 2+ redox couples during the electrochemical process.

“…The weight gain is caused by the oxidation of V 3+ /V 4+ and the weight loss is due to the transformation of carbon to CO 2 . [ 28,36 ] W 2 is much more than W 3 because weight loss is dominant at 300–500 °C while residual carbon decreases significantly and weight loss becomes unobvious at 500– 800 °C. TGA curves of ZnVO‐500 and ZnVO‐800 are also shown in Figure S4 (Supporting Information).…”

Transition metal vanadates (TMVs) have long been seen as promising anodes for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). To improve the electrochemical performance of them, designing rational nanostructures and utilizing the synergetic effect of multiple components are usually regarded as two effective strategies. Herein, ultrathin porous hexagonal Zn3V3O8/ZnO@N‐C (ZnVO@N‐C) nanoplates are synthesized via a phase separation method which is achieved by changing annealing temperatures. Under the annealing temperature of 650 °C, the obtained ZnVO‐650 nanoplates exhibit the best electrochemical performance. When used as LIB anodes, ZnVO‐650 nanoplates show high reversible rate capacity (393.9 mA h g−1 at 5 A g−1), excellent cycling performance (855.1 mA h g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 after 120 cycles), and superior long‐term cycling stability (489.2 mA h g−1 at 3 A g−1 after 500 cycles). The outstanding electrochemical performance of ZnVO‐650 nanoplates can be explained by their special morphology, abundant phase boundaries, synergetic effect of the components, and the N‐doped carbon layers.
