Abstract:

Using FeOOH nanorods as precursors, α-Fe2O3-Ag hybrid nanorods were prepared through a novel layer-by-layer assembly and subsequent annealing approach. The morphology, structure and electrochemical performance of the products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM), and electrochemical tests. It is indicated that numerous Ag nanoparticles are homogeneously distributed on the surface of α-Fe2O3 nanorod. When evaluated as an anode for Li-ion battery, the α-Fe2O3-Ag hybrid nanorods exhibit better cyclic performance and higher capacities. A high capacity of 549.8 mA·h/g can be retained after 180 discharge/charge cycles.

Key words: Li-ion battery, Anode, α-Fe2O3-Ag hybrid nanorods, Layer-by-layer assembly, Lithium storage performance
