A simple microwave-assisted fluorolytic sol-gel synthesis of 30 nm sized FeF3 nanocrystals supported on partially reduced graphene oxide is reported. The as-fabricated nanostructures used as positive electrodes in Li-ion batteries show capacity retention as high as 150 mA h g(-1) even after having sustained repeated charge-discharge cycles.
