Abstract

BiFeO3, GdFeO3 and GdFeO3/graphene nanofibers were successfully fabricated by using an electrospinning technique with a simple single needle. Their structure, size and morphology were investigated by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and selected area electron diffraction. The diameters of the BiFeO3 and GdFeO3 are 60–70 and 80–170 nm, respectively. The electrochemical properties of the BiFeO3, GdFeO3, and GdFeO3/graphene nanofibers for lithium-ion battery applications were evaluated. The results indicate that the GdFeO3/graphene composite shows better electrochemical performance than BiFeO3 and GdFeO3 nanofibers.
