title: Self-organized sheaf-like Fe3O4/C hierarchical microrods with superior lithium storage properties.
abstract: Functional nanomaterials with three-dimensional hierarchical structures are of high interest for many practical applications including lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, self-organized sheaf-like Fe3O4/C microrods constructed by porous nanowires have been synthesized by a facile solvothermal method combined with a subsequent annealing treatment. The morphology of the building blocks could be easily tuned by varying the synthesis parameters. When applied as an anode material for LIBs, these sheaf-like Fe3O4/C porous microrods manifest superior electrochemical lithium storage properties in terms of high reversible capacity, stable cycling capacity retention and good rate capability.
