Electrospun Nanofibers for Lithium-Ion Batteries

摘要: Abstract Developing highly efficient and environmentally friendly methods of creating storing renewable energy to solve the global crisis environmental pollution problems is one most pressing needs we will face in near future. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted significant interest as an appealing storage device for a wide variety applications, such portable electronic devices electric hybrid vehicles, due their high density, operational voltage, low self-discharge rate, no memory effect. Electrospun nanofibers, which specific surface area, porosity, good interconnected porous structure, controllable fiber diameter, are promising candidates enhance ionic conductivity LIBs, thus improve cyclability rate capability. More interestingly, nanofibers can be functionalized control property (i.e., electrolyte affinity, pore size, thermal stability) better, further enhancing cell performance LIBs. This chapter gives detailed overview recent advances LIBs based on electrospun describe design fabrication anode, cathode, separator discusses structure variables performances.
