Binder-free hybrid materials based on carbon fibers modified with metal oxides as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries

In this work binder-free hybrid materials based on carbon fibers modified with metal oxides (HMs) were successfully synthesized via a non-stationary electrolysis method as perspective anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. In attempt to improve the cycling performance and storage performance, the HMs were doped with vanadium and tungsten oxides during surface preparation stage of initial carbon fabric (ICF). It is shown that, in the study of electrochemical properties of synthesized HM, both carbon fabric and oxide layer act as anode in the charge–discharge process. The calculated specific capacity of the HMs was 185 mAh/g.
