The ferric trichloride (FeCl3 )-intercalated graphite intercalation compound (GIC) has high reversible capacity and bulk density, making it a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries. However, its practical application has been limited by the poor cycle performance due to chloride dissolution and shuttling issues. Herein, FeCl3 -GIC is used as the precursor material to synthesize a nano-Fe3 O4 -modified intercalation material by a solvothermal method. The Fe3 O4 moiety at the edge of FeCl3 -GIC provides a robust chemical anchoring effect on the chlorides...
