Abstract
Major breakthroughs in batteries would require the development of new composite electrode materials,with a precisely controlled nanoscale architecture. However, composites used for energy storage are typi-cally a disordered bulk mixture of different materials, or simple coatings of one material onto another. Wedemonstrate here a new technique to create complex hierarchical electrodes made of multilayers of verti-cally aligned nanowalls of hematite (Fe2O3) alternated with horizontal spacers of reduced graphene oxide(RGO), all deposited on a 3D, conductive graphene foam. The RGO nanosheets act as porous spacers,current collectors and protection against delamination of the hematite. The multilayer composite, formedby up to 7 different layers, can be used with no further processing as an anode in Li-ion batteries, with aspecific capacity of up to 1175μAhcm−2and a capacity retention of 84% after 1000 cycles. Our coatingstrategy gives improved cyclability and rate capacity compared to conventional bulk materials. Our pro-duction method is ideally suited to assemble an arbitrary number of organic–inorganic materials in anarbitrary number of layers.
