Popis: One-dimensional porous Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes with 2 µm length, 220 nm outer diameter and 65 nm wall thickness were firstly synthesized via a low temperature hydrothermal method followed by thermal treatment. As advanced anode for lithium ion batteries, porous Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes exhibit obviously enhanced electrochemical properties in terms of lithium storage capacity (1050.1 mA h g −1 at 100 mA g −1 rate), initial coulombic efficiency (78.4%), cycle performances (90.6% capacity retention at 50th cycle), and rate capability (613.7 mA h g −1 at 1000 mA g −1 rate). This enhancement could be attributed to the one-dimensional nanostructure of porous Fe 2 O 3 nanotubes which could increase contact area between electrolyte and active materials, shorten migration path for Li + ions and electrons, and accommodate the volume variations via additional void space during cycling.
