Pseudocapacitance, which is the storage of charge based on continuous and fast reversible redox reactions at the surface of electrode materials, is commonly observed for electrodes in lithium ion batteries, especially for transition metal oxide anodes. In this report, bare Fe2O3 of granular morpholo...
