Abstract
Electrospinning technology has emerged as a promising method for fabricating flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs) due to its ability to create materials with desirable properties for energy storage applications. FLIBs, which are foldable and have high energy densities, are becoming increasingly important as power sources for wearable devices, flexible electronics, and mobile energy applications. Carbon materials, especially carbon nanofibers, are pivotal in improving the performance of FLIBs by increasing electrical conductivity, chemical stability, and surface area, as well as reducing costs. These materials also play a significant role in establishing conducting networks and improving structural integrity, which are essential for extending the cycle life and enhancing the safety of the batteries. This review considers the role of electrospinning in the fabrication of critical FLIB components, with a particular emphasis on the integration of carbon materials. It explores strategies to optimize FLIB performance by fine-tuning the electrospinning parameters, such as electric field strength, spinning rate, solution concentration, and carbonization process. Precise control over fiber properties is crucial for enhancing battery reliability and stability during folding and bending. It also highlights the latest research findings in carbon-based electrode materials, high-performance electrolytes, and separator structures, discussing the practical challenges and opportunities these materials present. It underscores the significant impact of carbon materials on the evolution of FLIBs and their potential to shape future energy storage technologies.
期刊介绍:
New Carbon Materials is a scholarly journal that publishes original research papers focusing on the physics, chemistry, and technology of organic substances that serve as precursors for creating carbonaceous solids with aromatic or tetrahedral bonding. The scope of materials covered by the journal extends from diamond and graphite to a variety of forms including chars, semicokes, mesophase substances, carbons, carbon fibers, carbynes, fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes. The journal's objective is to showcase the latest research findings and advancements in the areas of formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbon materials. Additionally, the journal includes papers on the secondary production of new carbon and composite materials, such as carbon-carbon composites, derived from the aforementioned carbons. Research papers on organic substances will be considered for publication only if they have a direct relevance to the resulting carbon materials.
