| Abstract Scope |
Herein we present a study on polymer-derived silicon oxycarbide (SiOC)/CNT composites for a potential application as an electrode in energy storage devices. Free-standing SiOC/CNT fibermats were prepared using electrospinning process, which were then used as binder-free anodes in Sodium-ion Batteries (SIBs). Electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy was performed to study the effect of precursor chemical composition, polymer to ceramic transformation and free carbon content of the composite electrodes. The electrochemical measurements revealed enhanced capacity and cyclic stability for SiOC/CNT composite compared to the pure components. |
