Porous Fe2O3 nanorod-decorated hollow carbon nanofibers for high-rate lithium storage

Micro-sized porous carbon spheres with ultra-high rate capability for lithium storage.

Biomass-derived carbon materials, as one type of promising anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), have demonstrated intrinsic potential and superiority. Here, we report a facile and efficient approach to fabricate micro-sized porous carbon spheres (PCSs) by an integrated procedure of enzymolysis, pre-oxidation, and carbonization. Benefiting from the uniquely abundant pore accessiblity...

High-surface-area -Fe2O3/carbon nanocomposite: one-step synthesis and its highly reversible and enhanced high-rate lithium storage properties

Novel hollow α-Fe2O3 nanofibers via electrospinning for dye adsorption

Nanomaterials such as iron oxides and ferrites have been intensively investigated for water treatment and environmental remediation applications. In this work, hollow α-Fe2O3 nanofibers made of rice-like nanorods were successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal reaction on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofiber template followed by calcination. The crystallographic structure and the morpholog...

High interfacial lithium storage capability of hollow porous Mn2O3 nanostructures obtained from carbonate precursors.

The preparation of porous Mn2O3 boxes has been developed via a carbonate precursor route. As a Li-ion battery anode, it delivers a high reversible capacity of 1442 mA h g(-1) over 600 cycles at 800 mA g(-1), and 65% of the capacity originates from the gradually emerging interfacial storage contribution.

A unique hollow Li3VO4/carbon nanotube composite anode for high rate long-life lithium-ion batteries.

A unique hollow Li3VO4/CNT composite is synthesized via a facile method as an anode material in lithium batteries. Our work opens up the way for a promising material with high rate capability and good cycling stability due to its efficient Li(+) diffusion and relatively high structure stability.
