Key Points

To evaluate the performance of a TiN-modified carbon scaffold for lithium-metal anodes and its effect on ionic conductivity.
Prepared self-supporting TiN-modified carbon fibre electrodes through a nitriding process.
Tested the electrodes for lithiophilic properties and ionic conductivity enhancement in lithium-metal anodes.
Demonstrated increased ionic conductivity due to Li3N formation in the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).
Achieved better performance in lithium deposition compared to standard anodes.

Implication

Tests a TiN-based carbon scaffold for improved ionic conductivity in lithium-metal batteries, suggesting enhanced performance.

Abstract

Self-supporting TiN-modified carbon fibre electrodes (TiN@C) were prepared by a simple nitriding process and tested as lithiophilic, 3D, conductive skeletons. The TiN@C hosts have homogenously distributed lithiophilic nucleation sites and...
