Super simple and green synthesis of bifunctional iron oxide anchored on graphene oxide-like carbon composite

A super simple and green strategy is proposed to synthesize iron oxide and graphene oxide-like carbon composite. During preparation, ferrous gluconate was used as iron and carbon sources and oxidant, and deionized water as solvent without any other additives. The possible transform mechanism was proposed. Particularly, the optimal composite delivers excellent magnetic property and lithium storage performance.CO 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
