A new anode material, consisting of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) filled with iron oxide nanoparticles, has been used in a lithium-ion battery, by scientists in China. The material showed highly desirable cycling performance and rate capability, which Chang Liu and co-workers at Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Shenyang attribute to the small size of the iron oxide nanoparticles, and also the confinement effect and good electrical conductivity of CNTs.
