“…SnO2/ZnO heterogeneous nanofiber [104,148], Nitrogen doped CNFs with quantum dots Sn inevitably reduce the volume change (i.e. > 260%) that result from alloying/de-alloying processes that sometimes lead to particle isolation and disconnectivity between the electrical conductive particles during cycling (i.e.…”

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.

“…In recent years, energy storage technologies of rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles, portable electronics and large-scale electrical energy storage have been paid much attention due to the global demand for clean sustainable energy [1][2][3].Rechargeable lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have dominated the field of portable electronics, and are considered as the preferred candidate of energy supply for electric vehicles [4][5]. However, LIBs is not suitable for the large-scale electrical energy storage because of the limited mineral reserves and high cost of lithium-based compounds [6][7].…”

“…Ternary composites of Sn/CNFs containing other metals and their oxides have been investigated and shown to further improve the conductivity and the cyclic and rate performance of the composite electrode. Tin-based ternary composites such as SnO 2 /ZnO heterogeneous nanofibers [17,18], Nitrogen doped CNFs with Sn quantum dots [19], Co-Sn alloy carbon nanofibers [20], and Fe 3 O 4 /SnO 2 coaxial nanofibers [21] have been reported to enhance the electrochemical performance when used as anodes in LIBs. For instance, the N-doped Sn/CNF's, provides fast and versatile electrolyte transport and can act as efficient electron transport pathways and stable mechanical supports to keep the structural integrity of the electrodes during cycling [19].…”

The development of alternative anode materials out of flexible composite nanofibers has seen a growing interest. In this paper, binary carbon nanofiber electrodes of SnO 2 /NiO and Sn nanoparticles are produced using a scalable technique, Forcespinning (FS), and subsequent thermal treatment (carbonization). The Sn/C composite nanofibers were porous and flexible, while the SnO 2 /NiO composite nanofibers had "hairy-like" particles and pores on the fiber strands. The nanofiber preparation process involved the FS of Sn/PAN and SnO 2 /NiO/PAN solution precursors into nanofibers and subsequent stabilization in air at 280°C and calcination at 800 o C under an inert atmosphere. The flexible composite nanofibers were directly used as working electrodes in lithium-ion batteries without a current collector, conducting additives, or binder. The electrochemical performance of the SnO 2 /NiO/C and Sn/C composite fiber anodes showed a comparable cycle performance of about 675 mAhg -1 after 100 cycles. However, the SnO 2 /NiO/C electrode exhibited a better rate performance than the Sn/C composite anode and was able to recover its capacity after charging with a higher current density. A postmortem analysis of the composite nanofiber electrode after the aging process revealed a heavily passivated electrode from the electrolyte decomposition by-products. The synthesis and
