摘要
Conversion of alpha-Fe2O3 from nanorods to nanotubes has been demonstrated by means of controlling the additive, hydrothermal time, and temperature. The results indicate that Na2SO4 in precursor solution facilitates the formation of alpha-Fe2O3 phase, and increasing the hydrothermal time and temperature is favorable for the conversion of alpha-Fe2O3 from spindle nanorods to nanotubes by dissolving the sharp ends and interior of the nanorods. The alpha-Fe2O3 nanotube anode delivers a capacity of 1100 mA h g(-1) cycled at 500 mAg(-1) after 80 cycles, which is much higher than that of the nanorod anode (452 mA h g(-1)). It is worth noting that even at 2000 mA g(-1), the nanotube anode can retain a capacity of 687 mA h g(-1) after 80 cycles. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy also demonstrate a much lower charge transfer impedance and faster lithium-ion diffusion of alpha-Fe2O3 nanotubes than the nanorods, indicating the importance of the nanotubes for an enhanced electrochemical performance of alpha-Fe2O3 anode.
