Nanosized Fe2O3 On Three Dimensional Hierarchical Porous Graphene-Like Matrices As High-Performance Anode Material For Lithium Ion Batteries, Qin-Wei Zhang, Yun-Yong Li, Pei-Kang Shen

Journal of Electrochemistry

Ferric oxide (Fe2O3) as a promising anode material for lithium ion battery is due to its high theoretical capacity (1007 mAh·g-1), earth abundance and low cost. The nanosized Fe2O3 on the three dimensional hierarchical porous graphene-like network (denoted as Fe2O3-3D HPG) has been synthesized by homogeneous precipitation and heat treatment. The 3D HPG can provide a highly conductive structure in conjunction to support well contacted Fe2O3 nanoparticles, and effectively enhance the mechanical strength of the matrices during volume changes, as well as improve the …
