We report a novel procedure for the fabrication of vertical iron oxide nanowires with quite regular form and diameters ranging between 20 and 150 nm grown from a matrix of self-organized TiO(2) nanotubes. The 3 mu m thick nanocomposite electrode presented here shows relatively high areal capacities of 468 mu Ah cm(-2) (1st reversible discharge) and 200 mu A h cm(-2) over 45 cycles at a rate of 25 mu A cm(-2) (specific capacities of 1190 and 510 mAh g(-1), respectively). Additionally, studies performed at kinetics of 6, 12.5, and 50 mu A cm(-2) suggest that this architectured nanocomposite material reveals excellent electrochemical performance with promising potential applications as nano-architectured negative electrodes for Li-ion microbatteries.
