Abstract:

In order to achieve flexibility of the electrode material for flexible lithium-ion batteries, a self-supporting lithium iron phosphate/carbon black/carbon nanofibers (LiFePO4/CB/CNFs) flexible cathode was developed by a combination of electrospinning and heat treatment. The results show that the olivine structure LiFePO4 is formed after heat treatment. The prepared flexible LiFePO4/CB/CNFs cathode is a three-dimensional network structure nanomaterial with a high porosity. The CB and active material LiFePO4 are uniformly embedded in the CNF matrix. The CB did not affect the LiFePO4 crystal structure during the formation of the active material. When the CB mass ratios are set to 0.10% and 0.15%, flexible composite cathode demonstrates good electrochemical reversibility, the first discharge specific capacity is 141.1 and 139.1 mA·h/g, respectively, and the coulombic efficiency is 87.3% and 87.6% for first cycle, respectively. The discharge specific capacity performance is relatively stable during 100 cycles, and the coulombic efficiency is maintained at about 99% from 2 to 100 cycle.
