Nanomaterials have attracted increasing interest because they can offer a range of unique advantages in many energy related fields. For previous lithium battery application, bulk materials made of nanomaterials were usually used as the electrodes. Although the electrochemical properties could be improved, the fast capacity fading is still one of the key issues and the intrinsic reasons are not clear until now. In situ probing has been increasingly employed in nanotechnology. To understand intrinsic reason of capacity fading, we designed the single nanowire electrochemical devices for in situ probing the direct relationship between electrical transport, structure, and electrochemical properties of the single nanowire electrode, which may push the fundamental limits of the nanowire materials for energy storage applications. In this device, single vanadium oxide nanowire or single Si/a-Si core/shell nanowire was used as working electrode, and electrical transport of the single nanowire was recorded in situ to detect the evolution of the nanowire during charging and discharging. Our results show that conductivity of the nanowire electrode decreased during the electrochemical reaction, which limits the cycle life of the devices. Based on this conclusion, we used prelithiation to restrain the conductivity decrease to improve the cycling performance of electrochemical devices. LB technique to assemble VO2 nanowires as thin film Li-ion battery, which can decrease the boundary resistance and improve cycling property. We fabricated hierarchical MnMoO4/CoMoO4 heterostructured nanowires by combining "oriented attachment" and "self-assembly", which shows a high specific capacitance and good reversibility with a cycling efficiency of 98% after 1,000 cycles. To enhance stability of nanowire electrodes, we design and synthesized SVO/PANI triaxial nanowires by combining in situ chemical oxidative polymerization and interfacial redox reaction. It is expected that our study may extend effective and helpful methods in directions that will solve the challenge of property degradation in energy storage and open new applications.
