Unveiling Potential of Gallium Ferrite (GaFeO₃) as an Anode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

ABSTRACT: Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) serve as the backbone of modern technologies with ongoing efforts to enhance their performance and sustainability driving the exploration of new electrode materials. This study introduces a new type of alloy-conversion-based gallium ferrite (GFO: GaFeO₃) as a potential anode material for Li-ion battery applications. The GFO was synthesized by a one-step mechanochemistry-assisted solid-state method. The powder X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the presence of an orthorhombic phase with the Pc2₁ n space group. The photoelectron spectroscopy studies reveal the presence of Ga³⁺ and Fe³⁺ oxidation states of gallium and iron atoms in the GFO structure. The GFO was evaluated as an anode material for Li-ion ba
