Abstract: Composite electrode materials of amorphous FeOOH-based particles and carbon powder were prepared by heat treatment of composite powder obtained by hydrolyzing of mixed aqueous solutions of FeCl3 and Ti(SO4)2 into which electron conducting carbon powder was dispersed. They exhibited high capacities over 150 mAh g-1 and good cycle performance at large charge-discharge current density of 5 mA cm-2 (ca. 1 A g-1). In this case, the heat treatment was effective process to improve the cycle performance.
