One-pot synthesis of Fe2O3 yolk–shell particles with two, three, and four shells for application as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

Fe₂O₃ yolk–shell particles with two, three, and four shells are prepared by one-pot spray pyrolysis. The discharge capacity of the Fe₂O₃ yolk–shell particles with two shells showing the best electrochemical properties is as high as 848 mA h g⁻¹ after 80 cycles at a current density of 300 mA g⁻¹.
