제목 Synthesis of Nanostructured Cathode Materials for Li-ion Batteries by Mineralization of Peptide Nanofibers
초록 We report the synthesis ofFePO4 nanotubes by biomimetic mineralization of peptide nanofibers, formed by self-assembly of Fmoc-diphenylalanine. The peptide nanofibers were readily coated withFePO4 minerals when sequentially treated with aqueous solutions containing transition Fe3+ cations and PO43- anions. Detailed investigations revealed that peptide nanofibers were mineralized with amorphous hydrated FePO4. By incubating the peptide/FePO4 core/shell nanofibers at 350 ˚C, we could readily fabricate FePO4 nanotubes (average diameter ~20 nm, wall thickness ~5 nm) with inner walls coated with a thin conductive layer of amorphous carbon by carbonization of the peptide core. The novel carbon-coated FePO4 nanotubes were found to be a promising cathode material for rechargeable Li-ion batteries with a very high and reversible Li charge/discharge capacity (approx. 150 mAh g-1 at a rate of 10 mA g-1) and negligible capacity fading during cycling.
