Dataset of "Characterization of Silicon-based Fibers Prepared by Electrospinning for Potential Li-ion Battery Anodes"

<p>The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) is driven by advances in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), particularly in anode materials. Graphite electrodes, widely used for their high porosity, conductivity, low weight, and cost-effectiveness, face competition from monocrystalline silicon. Silicon anodes offer higher capacity and energy density, and they are safer because of their nonflammable nature. However, silicon's tendency to expand and contract during cycling presents challenges. This study explores the use of silicon nano- and microfibers to enhance battery stability, addressing these issues effectively.<br>Monocrystalline silicon particles, obtained through milling and sieving, were used as the active component in the nanofibers. These particles, combined with organic precursors (PVP and TEOS), were processed using electrospinning to form fibers. The fibers were then annealed at 650 &deg;C to remove the polymeric PVP component.&nbsp;<br>The results provide valuable insights into the properties and interactions of the silicon nanofibers, highlighting their potential in advanced energy storage devices. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
