Abstract

Polycrystalline α-Fe2O3 nanotubes with thin walls have been synthesized by one-step template-engaged precipitation of Fe(OH)x followed by thermal annealing. In virtue of the unique structural features, these α-Fe2O3 nanotubes exhibit superior lithium storage capabilities with exceptional high-rate capacity retention as a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
