Enhanced electrochemical performances based on ZnSnO₃ microcubes functionalized in-doped carbon nanofibers as free-standing anode materials

Abstract

The binary composite, ZnSnO3 microcubes (ZSO MC) homogeneously parceled in N-doped carbon nanofibers membrane (ZSO@CNFM), was synthesized via a mild hydrothermal, electrospinning and carbonization process as flexible lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)...

Comprehensive review of micro/nanostructured ZnSnO3: characteristics, synthesis, and diverse applications

“…The remarkable combination of high energy density, long cycle life, and low self-discharge rate has made Li-ion batteries the preferred choice in various industries. 186–188 Over the years, extensive research efforts have been directed towards enhancing the performance and safety of Li-ion batteries, driven by the growing demand for sustainable and efficient energy storage solutions. In this case, ZnSnO 3 possesses a unique crystal structure and a wide bandgap, making it an intriguing material for Li-ion battery applications.…”

“…Consequently, its rate performance is compromised and it experiences considerable capacity loss, impeding its practical use in real-world applications. 188,189 Thus, to address the aforementioned limitations of ZnSnO 3 , scientists have implemented diverse approaches, including the creation of micro–nano structures, incorporating transition metals through modification, and combining the material with carbon substances. 190–193…”
