Both the transition pressure and the width of the hysteresis have found to be strongly dependent on the nature

In this method, an Fe-based metal organic framework [MIL-88B (Fe)] was used as a precursor for the synthesis of spindle-like α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with a mesoporous structure of less than 20 nm. When used as anode material for LIBs, these nanoparticles demonstrated a capacity
