Abstract

In this work, we selectively prepared two samples with quite different nanocrystal shapes, i.e. nanoplates and nanograins but with almost identical surface areas to make a clear comparison of nanocrystal shapes on electrochemical performance. The electrochemical results indicate that the thinner hexagonal α-Fe2O3 nanoplates considerably enclosed by two larger (0001) basal surfaces exhibit higher capacity and stability than thicker α-Fe2O3 nanograins enclosed by a variety of crystal facets. During the conversion reaction, an orientated growth of porous nanostructure with orientated nanowalls as a stable framework is observed for the nanoplate, readily supplying a pathway for long and easy lithiation–delithiation cycling. The improved electrochemical performance of α-Fe2O3 nanoplates is surely related to the nanostructure with significantly stacked (0001) lattice planes along 〈0001〉 direction for orientated growth of γ-Fe2O3 nanodomains along one 〈111〉 direction.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
