Gelatin assisted wet chemistry synthesis of high quality beta-FeOOH nanorods anchored on graphene nanosheets with superior lithium-ion battery application

摘要

High quality beta-FeOOH nanorods anchored on graphene nanosheets to form beta-FeOOH/rGO hybrid nanostructures were synthesized by using a gelatin assisted wet chemistry strategy. Owing to their unique structures, the as-harvested beta-FeOOH/rGO hybrids were used as anode electrodes with superior electrochemical performance for lithium ion batteries.
