Low bulk density greatly restricts the large-scale application of electrospun carbon-based fiber membrane as electrode in energy storage devices. To solve the above challenges, herein an orientation-compaction densification strategy is proposed to enhance the bulk density and volumetric capacity of PAN-based carbon nanofiber membranes as self-supporting electrode used in lithium-ion batteries(LIBs). Specifically, highly-oriented fibers are achieved by high-speed roller collecting during electrospinning, and compaction densification is conducted by hot-pressing treatment. The effects of collecting speed and hot-pressing pressure on the morphology, conductivity,bulk density, tensile strength, and flexibility of the obtained carbon nanofiber membrane are *** to conventional fiber membranes, of which fibers are disorderly stacked, the oriented fiber membrane is much easier to achieve dense stacking by compaction. The obtained dense carbon nanofiber membrane demonstrates a bulk density of 0.566 g cm-3, and shows a significantly-enhanced volumetric capacity(318.3 mA h cm-3), high-rate performance(86.6 mA h cm-3at 5 A g-1), and satisfactory cycling stability when used as selfsupporting electrode of LIBs.

The strong impact of the strain-induced Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (SIDMI) on the magnetization dynamics of skyrmions in nanomagnetic structures is demonstrated. The effects of SIDMI are characterized by skyrmion equations (SEs) of motion and magnetoelastic (ME) equations. The study is performed on a model system of MgO/CoFe/Pt stacked on a piezoelectric substrate. The results demonstrate a major nonlinear amplification in both the first- and higher-harmonic magnitudes of the skyrmion breathing mode due to SIDMI. Remarkably, this enhancement can trigger a skyrmion collapse, enabling its deletion with ultraweak strain-induced excitations. The SIDMI effect is shown to be much more significant than the conventional ME effect. These findings open different avenues for the efficient manipulation of nanomagnetic structures through strain.
