Abstract

Molybdenum-Oxide/Carbon (MoO2/C) composite nanofibers were synthesized using Forcespinning method and subsequent heat treatment, for use as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Due to the layered structure of MoO2, the composite nanofibers are very promising for use as anode material for LIBs. The MoO2/C composite fiber anodes exhibit good electrochemical performance and cycling stability.
