Abstract
The large amount of waste chemical fiber textiles that exists has posed pressure on the sustainable development of the natural environment and of society. Therefore, it is of great importance to increase the added value of waste chemical fiber textiles and expand their applications in other fields. Herein, acrylic yarn from waste clothing is used as the raw material to construct a three-dimensional (3D) acrylic-based ceramic composite nanofiber solid electrolyte. The electrochemical properties of batteries based on this solid electrolyte are also investigated. We found that the fabricated composite electrolyte has good performance in lithium ion conduction and electrochemical stability because of its 3D acrylic-based ceramic composite fiber framework. The introduction of this composite electrolyte to a lithium symmetric battery enabled the battery to circulate stably for 2350 h at 50 °C without short-circuiting. In addition, all-solid-state batteries using a LiFePO4 cathode exhibited high reversible capacity. Lastly, a flexible lithium metal pouch battery was able to operate safely and stably under extreme conditions. This work demonstrates a strategy for upcycling waste textiles into ion-conducting polymers for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is attracted much attention due to its outstanding theoretical capacity (4200 mAh/g) as the anode of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the large volume change and low electron/ion conductivity during the charge and discharge process limit the electrochemical performance of Si-based anodes. Here we demonstrate a foldable acrylic yarn-based composite carbon nanofiber embedded by Si@SiOx particles (Si@SiOx-CACNFs) as the anode material. Since the amorphous SiOx and carbon (C) coating on the outside of the Si particles can provide a double buffer for volume expansion while reducing the contact between the Si core and the electrolyte to form a thin and stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film. Simultaneous in-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (in-situ EIS) and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) tests show that SiOx and C have higher ion/electron transport rates, and in addition, using acrylic fiber yarn and Zn(Ac)2 as raw materials reduces the manufacturing cost and enhanced mechanical properties. Therefore, the half-cell can achieve a high initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of 82.3% and a reversible capacity of 1358.2 mAh/g after 180 cycles. It can return to its original shape and remain intact after four consecutive folds, and the soft-pack full battery can also light up LED lights under different bending conditions.

Abstract
A new strategy of sodium ion batteries with the hybrid storage of Li and Na ions has attracted much attention in the field of large-scale energy storage. For revealing the mechanism of hybrid storage of Li and Na atoms in carbon materials, the lowest energy configuration, adsorption energy, differential charge density and density of states of LixNay clusters on graphene, as a structural unit of carbon materials, were calculated and investigated based on first principles density functional theory. The calculation results show that the deposition behavior of single Li or Na atoms on graphene is similar, and both are preferentially deposited at the hollow of graphene (H-site). The Li atom is deposited preferentially over the Na atom, and the deposition height of the Li atom is lower. When the total number of metal atoms x + y ≥ 3, LixNay clusters are deposited on graphene in the form of a stereotypical atomic cluster, in which the Li atom is usually at the bottom of the LixNay cluster, while the Na atom is usually at the top of the cluster. The electronic structure analysis shows that the electrons of the LixNay cluster are transferred to the anti-bonding π orbitals adjacent to graphene. The 2s orbitals of Li atoms and the 2s and 2p orbitals of Na atoms are hybridized with the 2p orbitals of C atoms. Therefore, the Li-C bonds or Na-C bonds formed between Li or Na atoms and C atoms of graphene are usually ionic bonds with partial covalent bond properties. Meanwhile, the Li-Li, Na-Na or Li-Na bonds formed inside LixNay clusters are usually multiple metal-metal bonds.
