Abstract
The novel hybrid carbon nanofiber (CNF)/highly branched graphene nanosheet (HBGN) is synthesized via a simple two-step CVD method and its application as the anode material in a lithium-ion battery (LIB) is demonstrated. The CNFs offer a good electrical conductivity and a robust supporting structure, while the HBGNs provide increased Li storage sites including nanoporous cavities, large surface area, and edges of exposed graphene platelets. The hybrid material showed a reversible capacity of 300 mAh g(-1) with excellent cycling stability. Our study provides a new avenue for design and synthesis of carbon-carbon hybrid materials for versatile applications.
