Abstract

Aqueous, low-temperature co-precipitation syntheses afford environmentally sustainable, economically viable methods to produce energy storage materials based on iron, an earth-abundant material. Systematically altering the parameters of a co-precipitation reaction yields nanomaterials with distinct chemical compositions and crystallite sizes. Compared to bulk material, nanomaterials posses inimitable ion-transport kinetics and cycling ability. Magnetite (Fe3O4) and silver ferrite (AgxFeO2) are discussed here as examples of nanocrystalline iron oxide materials in which the electrochemical performance (i.e. overall capacity, cycling efficiency, magnitude of polarization) directly correlates with composition and crystallite size.
