In this way, the organic matrix material is preferentially removed. Compared to those untreated films, the turn-on electric field of the treated film decreases from 2.2V/μm to 1.6V/μm, while the total emission current of the treated increases from 0.6mA/cm2 to 3mA/cm2, and uniform emission site density image has also been observed.展开更多

When used as the active anode material for Li-ion cells, these nanofibers exhibit a first-cycle discharge/charge capacity of 941/756 mAh/g at 100 mAJg and maintain a capacity of 458 mAh/g after 100 cycles at 1 A/g. The evolution of size and crystallinity of WS2 with heating treatment are system- atically studied, which are found to strongly influence the final electrochemical performance. Interestingly, the WS2 samples of lowest crystallinity show the highest performance among all studied samples, which could result from the large interfacial capacity for Li ions due to their large specific surface area. More interestingly, the inherent flexible attribute of electrospun nanofibers renders them a great potential in the utilization of binder-flee anodes. Similar high discharge/charge capacity of 761/604 mAh/g with a first coulombic efficiency of 79.4 % has been achieved in these binder-flee anodes. Considering the universal of such simple and scalable preparation strategy, it is very likely to extend this method to other similar two-dimensional layered materials besides WS2 and provides a promising candidate elec- trode for developing flexible battery devices.展开更多
