• -size particles can better accommodate the strain from the Li insertion, nanocrystallinity seems to be playing the key role to achieving “good” charge storage characteristics or, in other words, high performance. Various synthetic methods to produce single-phase spinel ferrite nanoparticles have been

• , which is due to the nanocrystallinity of the particles that compose the rod morphology. The mean crystallite size calculated from the most intense (112) peak by using the Scherrer equation is about 30 nm, which is approximately three times smaller than the nanorod diameter. The polycrystalline nature of

Figure 2 shows a SEM image of the thus-obtained ceria mats composed of ceria tubes after the final ceramisation step. The nanocrystallinity of the ceria tubes was investigated by
