Maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3) is considered more stable than gamma-Fe2O3 as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries because it has adequate vacancy sites and lower surface energy. However, the facile synthesis of gamma-Fe(2)O(3 )is still a technological challenge. In this work, a composite based of gamma-Fe(2)O(3 )and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is successfully synthesized by a facile one-step direct current arc-discharge approach. Under an atmosphere of low-pressure air, Fe particles act as catalysts for carbon nanotube growth and are subsequently oxidized in situ to gamma-Fe2O3 with a mean diameter of about 10 nm deposited on the carbon nanotubes. The as-synthesized gamma-Fe2O3/CNT composite shows a stable cycling capacity of 1186.8 mAh g(-1) after 400 cycles at 200 mA g(-1). In addition, the gamma-Fe2O3/CNT composite delivers excellent rate performance of 611.8 mAh g(-1) at 4000 mAg -1 and a high reversible capacity of 518.5 mAh g(-1) remains after 300 cycles at 4000 mAg(-1). The highly stable gamma-Fe(2)O(3 )particles and highly conductive carbon nanotubes are the key factors that provide the extraordinary performance of the composite. Most importantly, gamma-Fe2O3/CNT composite and the arc-discharge fabrication method hold great potential for further industrial applications in energy storage. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
