چکیده
In this study, we prepared high-stability hematite mesocrystals by a facile route without polymer additives. In particular, the rhombic hematite mesocrystals exhibit excellent lithium insertion behavior compared to the hematite single-crystals.

متن کاملInduced Mesocrystal-Formation, Hydrothermal Growth and Magnetic Properties of -Fe2O3 Nanoparticles in Salt-Rich Aqueous Solutions
Iron oxide nanoparticles are widely prevalent in our aqueous environment (e.g., streams, seawater, hydrothermal vents). Their aggregation and crystal growth depend on their chemical surroundings, for instance just a change in pH or salt concentration can greatly affect this. In turn this influences their properties, mobility, fate, and environmental impact. We studied the growth of α-Fe2O3 (hem...
متن کاملHydrothermal evolution, optical and electrochemical properties of hierarchical porous hematite nanoarchitectures
Hollow or porous hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoarchitectures have emerged as promising crystals in the advanced materials research. In this contribution, hierarchical mesoporous α-Fe2O3 nanoarchitectures with a pod-like shape were synthesized via a room-temperature coprecipitation of FeCl3 and NaOH solutions, followed by a mild hydrothermal treatment (120°C to 210°C, 12.0 h). A formation mechanism bas...
متن کاملAdditive-free synthesis of unique TiO2 mesocrystals with enhanced lithium-ion intercalation properties†
Unique nanorod-like mesocrystals constructed from ultrathin rutile TiO2 nanowires were successfully fabricated for the first time using a low-temperature additive-free synthetic route, and the mesocrystal formation requirements and mechanism in the absence of polymer additives were discussed. The ultrathin nanowires were highly crystalline and their diameters were found to be ca. 3–5 nm. The ru...
