Abstract
Three-dimensional C/SiOx nanofiber anode was prepared by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polyacrylonitrile
(PAN) as precursors via electrospinning and freeze-drying successfully. In contrast to conventional carbon covering Si-based anode materials, the C/SiOx structure is made up of PAN-C, a 3D carbon substance, and SiOx loading steadily on PAN-C. The PAN carbon nanofibers and loaded SiOx from pyrolyzed PDMS give increased
conductivity and a stable complex structure. When employed as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) anode materials,
C/SiOx-1% composites were discovered to have an extremely high lithium storage capacity and good cycle performance. At a current density of 100 mA/g, its reversible capacity remained at 761 mA/h after 50 charge-discharge cycles and at 670 mA/h after 200 cycles. The C/SiOx-1% composite aerogel is a particularly intriguing
anode candidate for high-performance LIBs due to these appealing qualities.
