Abstract

MoO₃@C nanofibers have been successfully synthesized by electrospinning the Mo precursor with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), followed by annealing. When tested as an anode material, the as-synthesized MoO₃@C nanofibers could deliver a high discharge capacity of 623 mA h g^-1 after 100 cycles at 500 mA g^-1, and 502 mA h g^-1 even at 1000 mA g^-1.
