Summary
To be able to discover the morphology and improved electrochemical efficiency of diamond-like carbon (DLC) deposited on SnSb/C nanofiber derived from completely different precursors by the atmospheric stress plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (AP-PECVD) expertise. SnCl4•5H2O/SbCl3 (I), Sn(CH3COO)2/Sb(CH3COO)3 (II) had been used as SnSb precursors, respectively, the SnSb/C nanofiber membranes had been ready by electrospinning and carbonization, after which DLC was deposited on completely different SnSb/C nanofibers to acquire SnSb/C/DLC nanofibers. It’s proven that the densified and irregular cubic-like DLC nanoparticles had been deposited on SnSb/C (I) nanofibers. Whereas on the SnSb/C(II) nanofibers, DLC nanoparticles exhibited as sparse and spherical. In the meantime, each SnSb/C/DLC nanofibers have good structural stability, particularly larger sp3/sp2 ratios DLC was proven within the SnSb/C/DLC (I) nanofiber than that of SnSb/C/DLC (II) one. By comparability, SnSb/C/DLC(I) nanofibers have wonderful electrochemical efficiency, the capability retention is 69.33% after 100 cycles, and the capability retention fee from 20 to 100 cycles is 109.24%. This reveals that DLC supplies with larger C–C content material and uniform distribution have a optimistic impact on the facet of inhibiting SnSb alloys quantity growth.
