Abstract:Summary
Free‐standing materials with good flexibility is of great interest for energy storage applications. Herein, N‐MnO carbon nanofibers (N‐MnC) composite is synthesized by introducing one dimensional MnO2 nanowires (1D MnO2 NWs) into PAN and PVB composite solution through electrospinning. The synthesized membranes are directly used as freestanding electrodes for lithium‐ion battery (LIB) applications. During synthesis, MnO2 NWs transformed into MnO spherical nanoparticles (NPs) and embedded on carbon nanof… Show more
“…The cathodic peak was shifted to 0.49 V in the 5th cycle and overlaps almost in successive cycles, indicating that a reversible reaction occurred during the initial cycles. 45–47 During the anodic scan, there was a broad peak at about 1.27 V that corresponded to the oxidation of Mn to MnO, and Zn to ZnO, respectively, following decomposition of the Li 2 O matrix. 48 The lithium insertion/extraction reaction can be expressed as follows: 49–51 ZnMn 2 O 4 + 9Li + + 9e − → ZnLi + 2Mn + 4Li 2 OMn + Li 2 O ↔ MnO + 2Li + + 2e − ZnLi ↔ Zn + Li + + e − Zn + Li 2 O ↔ ZnO + 2Li + + 2e − …”
