Twisted aligned carbon nanotube/silicon composite fiber anode for flexible wire-shaped lithium-ion battery

Abstract

Twisted, aligned carbon nanotube/silicon composite fibers with remarkable mechanical and electronic properties are designed to develop novel flexible lithium-ion batteries with a high cyclic stability. The core-sheath architecture and the aligned structure of the composite nanotube offer excellent combined properties.

Keywords: carbon nanotubes; composite fibers; lithium-ion batteries; silicon; wires.
