Abstract

Polycrystalline α-Fe₂O₃ nanotubes with thin walls have been synthesized by one-step template-engaged precipitation of Fe(OH)_x followed by thermal annealing. In virtue of the unique structural features, these α-Fe₂O₃ nanotubes exhibit superior lithium storage capabilities with exceptional high-rate capacity retention as a potential anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
