Novel hierarchical nanostructures composed of carbon coated a- Fe2O3 hollow nanohorns on carbon nanotube (CNT) backbones have been constructed by direct growth and thermal transformation of b-FeOOH nanospindles on CNTs, followed by carbon nanocoating. When evaluated as a potential anode material...
