• Electrospinning technology was used to prepare novel composite nanofiber anodes and cathodes for lithium-ion batteries. Silicon/carbon (Si/C) anode and LiFePO4/carbon (LiFePO4/C) cathode composite nanofibers were fabricated. Integration of these nanofibers into lithium-ion batteries was used to achieve high system performance. Anodes made from Si/C nanofibers have the advantages of both carbon (long cycle life) and Si (high lithium-storage capacity). The cathode material, LiFePO4/C nanofibers, also gave good electrochemical performance, such as satisfactory cycling stability.
