Abstract

High-performance lithium-ion batteries are important component in micro/small reconnaissance aircraft, space vehicles and other applications. This paper briefly reviews the three-dimensional (3D) nanostructured anode materials for lithium ion batteries. Based on the morphologies of prepared 3D nanostructure, the materials are divided into three categories, i.e., 3D porous nanostructure, 3D array nanostructure and 3D network nanostructure. The involved materials include carbonaceous materials, alloy-based anodes and transition metal oxides anodes. Compared with the traditional planar anode, the prepared 3D nanostructured anodes have advantages in shorter diffusion distance for ions, higher interface area between electrode and electrolyte and better accommodation of volume changes during charge-discharge processes, and thus generate higher capacity, better cycle stability and improved rate capacity.
