  title = {Effect of Carbon Coating on the Physicochemical and Electrochemical Properties of Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Nanoparticles for Anode Application in High Performance Lithium Ion Batteries},
  abstract = {<p>Nanoparticulate Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/C composites with different carbon proportions have been prepared for anode application in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Morphological studies revealed that particles of Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> in the composites were well-dispersed in the matrix of amorphous carbon. The properties of the γ-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles and the correlation with the particle size and connectivity were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance, magnetic, and M{\"o}ssbauer measurements. The electrochemical study revealed that composites with carbon have promising electrochemical performances. These samples yielded specific discharge capacities of 1200 mAh/g after operating for 100 cycles at 1C. These excellent results could be explained by the homogeneity of particle size and structure as well as the uniform distribution of γ-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticles in the <em>in situ</em> generated amorphous carbon matrix.</p>},
