Rechargeable battery using a novel iron oxidenanorods anode and a nickel hydroxide cathode in an aqueous electrolyte†
Abstract
A rechargeable battery using novel α-Fe2O3/CNFs composite as the anode, β-Ni(OH)2 as the cathode and LiOH/KOH solution as the electrolyte in an aqueous rechargeable battery has been proposed. The Fe2O3/Ni(OH)2 prototype cell exhibits a high average operational voltage of 1.5 V, high rate capability and good cycling performance.
