Abstract

Fe2O3 short nanorods, nanorods and nanowires were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method by using different flexible ligands (oxalic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid) as templates to adjust the L/D (length/diameter) ratios of the one-dimensional (1D) Fe2O3–nanostructures for the first time. The growth mechanism of Fe2O3 nanorods and nanowires were proposed. Their potential applications as anodes for lithium ion batteries were investigated by electrochemical analysis. This novel straightforward strategy to fabricate 1D metal oxide with different L/D ratios may provide a promising method to make advanced Fe2O3-based nanostructures for Li-ion battery applications.
