Abstract

A unique architecture with yolk–shell Fe₂O₃ ⊙ C composites attached to the surface of MWNTs is designed. Benefiting from the good electrical conductivity of MWNTs and carbon layers, as well as the large void space to accommodate the volume expansion/extraction of Fe₂O₃ during battery cycling, the obtained MWNT@Fe₂O₃ ⊙ C exhibited outstanding lithium and sodium storage performance.
