In this paper we report the synthesis and characterization of a γ-Fe2O3/reduced graphene oxide composite anode for Na-ion batteries. The nanocomposite anode is synthesized by a facile and green method. Structural and morphological characterization highlights a small γ-Fe2O3 particle size and their successful embedding in the carbonaceous matrix. Electrochemical characterization reveals a high specific capacity of ≈300 mA h g−1 at 1000 mA g−1, while at 5 A g−1 a capacity of 113 mA h g−1 is retained. Cyclic voltammetry at different scan rates, impedance spectroscopy, and ex situ Raman measurements evidence a redox pseudocapacitive behavior and full reversibility of the conversion reaction. The green synthesis coupled to the high specific capacity and rate capability make the proposed γ-Fe2O3/rGO nanocomposite a very promising candidate anode material for sustainable Na-ion batteries.

Abstract

In this paper we report the synthesis and characterization of a γ-Fe2O3/reduced graphene oxide composite anode for Na-ion batteries. The nanocomposite anode is synthesized by a facile and green method. Structural and morphological characterization highlights a small γ-Fe2O3 particle size and their successful embedding in the carbonaceous matrix. Electrochemical characterization reveals a high specific capacity of ≈300 mA h g−1 at 1000 mA g−1, while at 5 A g−1 a capacity of 113 mA h g−1 is retained. Cyclic voltammetry at different scan rates, impedance spectroscopy, and ex situ Raman measurements evidence a redox pseudocapacitive behavior and full reversibility of the conversion reaction. The green synthesis coupled to the high specific capacity and rate capability make the proposed γ-Fe2O3/rGO nanocomposite a very promising candidate anode material for sustainable Na-ion batteries.
