Abstract
- Carbon composite fibers with Fe<subscript>3</subscript>O<subscript>4</subscript>, Fe<subscript>3</subscript>C, and TiO<subscript>2</subscript> nanoparticles (Fe<subscript>3</subscript>O<subscript>4</subscript>/Fe<subscript>3</subscript>C/TiO<subscript>2</subscript>/C) were successfully fabricated using a facile dry-spinning approach, followed by annealing under argon flux. When used as the anode material of a lithium-ion battery, the Fe<subscript>3</subscript>O<subscript>4</subscript>/Fe<subscript>3</subscript>C/TiO<subscript>2</subscript>/C composite fibers achieved a reversible capacity of 702.1 mA h g<superscript>−1</superscript> after 400 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g<superscript>−1</superscript> and ca. 200 mA h g<superscript>−1</superscript> at a current density of 1000 mA g<superscript>−1</superscript> in 350 cycles. The superior cycling performance and high rate capability were attributed to the high theoretical specific capacity of Fe<subscript>3</subscript>O<subscript>4</subscript>, the catalytic activity of Fe<subscript>3</subscript>C, the structural stability of TiO<subscript>2</subscript>, and the buffer function of carbon fiber. Compared with the corresponding Fe<subscript>3</subscript>O<subscript>4</subscript>/Fe<subscript>3</subscript>C/C and TiO<subscript>2</subscript>/C composite fibers, the Fe<subscript>3</subscript>O<subscript>4</subscript>/Fe<subscript>3</subscript>C/TiO<subscript>2</subscript>/C product exhibited higher cycling and rate performances due to the synergetic effect among the Fe<subscript>3</subscript>O<subscript>4</subscript>, Fe<subscript>3</subscript>C, TiO<subscript>2</subscript> and carbon components.
