Hierarchical hollow spheres of Fe2O3 @polyaniline for lithium ion battery anodes

Adv Mater. 2013 Nov 20;25(43):6250-5. doi: 10.1002/adma.201302710. Epub 2013 Aug 21.

Abstract

Hierarchical hollow spheres of Fe2 O3 @polyaniline are fabricated by template-free synthesis of iron oxides followed by a post in- and exterior construction. A combination of large surface area with porous structure, fast ion/electron transport, and mechanical integrity renders this material attractive as a lithium-ion anode, showing superior rate capability and cycling performance.

Keywords: Composites; Conducting polymer; Iron oxide; Lithium ion battery; hierarchical structure.
