Abstract: Hollow Fe2O3/Graphene nanocomposites were synthesized by a hydrothermal method, and they were characterized by XRD and SEM. A plausible formation mechanism of the composite could be based on the catalytic oxidation of carboxyl et. al. groups of GO in the presence of Fe3+ ions to form GNS, and the released CO2 provided templates for the formation of hollow Fe2O3, and then hollow Fe2O3/Graphene nanocomposites were formed in-situ. The obtained nanocomposites show excellent Li storage performances. After 50 cycles, a capacity of 520 mAh g-1 (437 mAh g-1) was kept at a high current density of 200 mA g-1 (400 mA g-1).
