The data in this study are related to the research article “Core-shell electrospun and doped LiFePO4/FeS/C composite fibers for Li-ion batteries” [1]. Core-shell LiFePO4/FeS/C composites fiber were prepared via an electrospinning method for use as cathodes in Li-ion batteries. The data presented in this paper showed the effect of electrospinning parameters, including applied voltage, solution flow rate, the concentration of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (wt%) and a mixed PVP/PEO (polyethylene oxide) (w/w%) polymers on the morphological properties of composites fibers. These data were developed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Then, the effect of heat-treatment temperature on fiber morphology was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The voltage profile and cycle rate properties of the core-shell LiFePO4/FeS/C composites obtained after various heat treatments were studied.
