Abstract:

To develop cathode materials for rechargeable zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) with excellent performance and a simple preparation process, electrospun nanofiber membranes were used as precursors to prepare carbon nanofiber films (CNFs) by pre-oxidation and high-temperature carbonization. MnOx/CNFs composites with the skin-core structure were prepared by using electrochemical deposition method with CNFs as substrate. The effects of electrochemical deposition time on the surface morphology, specific surface area, cyclic charge-discharge stability, and rate performance of MnOx/CNFs composites were discussed. The results show that the electrochemical deposition method promotes a good interfacial bonding between the loaded active material and the CNFs substrate and improves the ion and electron transport capacity at the interface. The specific capacity can reach 647.9 mA·h/g after the activation at the current density of 0.1 A/g. In addition, the ZIBs with MnOx/CNFs cathode via depositing MnOx for 2 h show the specific capacity of 221.8 mA·h/g after 500 cycles under the current density of 0.5 A/g. After cycling of charging and discharging at the current density of 2 A/g, 94% of the initial capacity can still be restored at the current density of 0.1 A/g, which represent excellent performance of MnOx/CNFs cathode.
