Novel iron oxide nanotube arrays as high-performance anodes for lithium ion batteries
Journal of Power Sources(2015)
摘要
Nanostructured iron oxides can be promising anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, improvement on the rate capability and/or electrochemical cycling stability of iron oxide anode materials remains a key challenge because of their poor electrical conductivities and large volume expansion during cycling. Herein, the vertically aligned arrays of one-dimensional (1D) iron oxide nanotubes with 5.8 wt% carbon have been fabricated by a novel surfactant-free self-corrosion process and subsequent thermal treatment. The as-fabricated nanotube array electrode delivers a reversible capacity of 932 mAh g−1 after 50 charge−discharge cycles at a current of 0.6 A g−1. The electrode still shows a reversible capacity of 610 mAh g−1 even at a very high rate (8.0 A g−1), demonstrating its prominent rate capability. Furthermore, the nanotube array electrode also exhibits the excellent electrochemical cycling stability with a reversible capacity of 880 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles at a current of 4 A g−1. The nanotube array electrode with superior lithium storage performance reveals the promising potential as a high-performance anode for LIBs.
