Abstract

The alloy-type material Sb is widely used in the anode materials of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)due to its high theoretical specific capacity.However,its serious volume expansion problem during alloying/dealloying of Li+limits its practical application.In this work,C-Sb composite was constructed as anode material of LIBs by electrospinning route for the first time,Sb was introduced into the polyacrylonitrile-based hard carbon and coal tar pitch-based soft carbon composite amorphous carbon fiber with a diameter of 300-600 nm,which realized high cycling stability.The C-Sb-2(the mass ratio of polyacry-lonitrile to Sb source is 1∶2)electrode displayed charge capacities of 1098.5,930.3,841.7,753.5,643.9 and 545.8 mAh·g-1 at 0.1,0.2,0.3,0.5,1 and 2 A·g-1,respectively.And when the current density returned to 0.1 A·g-1,the charge capacity was 939.3 mAh·g-1,revealing good stability and reversibility.The introduction of Sb into the amorphous carbon improved its conductivity and addressed the volume expansion issue of high specific capacity Sb during charge/discharge.Ex-situ XRD analysis confirmed the high reversibility of the C-Sb-2 during charging and discharging.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations revealed the gradual enhancement of the interface inter-action between SbxLiy and amorphous carbon(AMC)with increasing lithium content,contributing to the anchoring of alloy nanoparticles on the AMC surface and buffering the volume change of the alloy.Moreover,the gradual lithia-tion of Sb facilitated the electron transfer from SbxLiy to AMC.These findings hold promise for designing lithium storage materials with exceptional performance,high-lighting the potential of C-Sb composites as anode mate-rials for efficient next-generation lithium storage.
