“…Transition metal oxides (TMOs) (e.g., MnO 2 , ZnO, Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 , and SnO 2 ) have become mainstream electrode materials in the field of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Among them, iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ) has been attractive and extensively considered as an ideal alternative electrode material because of its high theoretical capacity (1007 mAh g −1 ), low conversion voltage, and good stability as well as environmental friendliness [ 5 , 6 ].…”
