“…In terms of various anode materials, transition metal oxides (e.g., Fe 2 O 3 , , Fe 3 O 4 , MnO 2 , − and ZnO − ) have become one class of key anode materials because of their low cost, higher specific capacity (theoretical value ≥600 mAh g –1 ) compared to graphite, and stable physical structure. Interestingly, Fe 2 O 3 is regarded as a promising candidate for LIB anode materials because of its high theoretical specific capacity of 1007 mAh g –1 and relatively low voltage platform compared to a large number of transition metal compounds (e.g., Co 3 O 4 , NiO, CuO, etc.…”
