ESI 3

XPS spectrum (wide) of the -Fe2O3 PFs (black) and NGs (red) nanostructures showing the

elemental composition. The spectrum also indicates the presence of a small amount of

adventitious C1s feature.

ESI 5

A comparison of the CV traces of PF, NG and the Ni substrate at a scan rate of 100 mV/s. It

is obvious from the traces that the electrochemical activity of the substrate is negligible in

comparison to that of the metal oxides.
