Sn/Nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (Sn@N-G) composites have been successfully synthesized via a facile method for lithium-ion batteries. Compared with the Sn or Sn/graphene anodes, the Sn@N-G anode exhibits a superb rate capability of 535 mAh g−1 at 2C and cycling stability up to 300 cycles at 0.5C. The improved lithium-storage performance of Sn@N-G anode could be ascribed to the effective graphene wrapping, which accommodates the large volume change of Sn during the charge–discharge process, while the nitrogen doping increases the electronic conductivity of graphene, as well as provides a large number of active sites as reservoirs for Li+ storage.

Co3V2O8 (CVO) with high theoretical specific capacity derived from the multiple oxidation states of V and Co is regarded as a potential electrode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Herein, reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-supported ultrafine CVO (rGO@CVO) nanoparticles are successfully prepared via the hydrothermal and subsequent annealing processes. The CVO supported on 2D rGO nanosheets possess excellent structural compatibility for the accommodation of volume variation to maintain the structural integrity of an electrode during the repeated lithiation/delithiation process. On the other hand, the rGO, as a highly-conductive network in the rGO@CVO composite, facilitates rapid charge transfer to ensure fast reaction kinetics. Moreover, the CV kinetic analysis indicates that the capacity of rGO@CVO is mainly dominated by a pseudocapacitive process with favorable rate capability. As a result, the rGO@CVO composite exhibits improved specific capacity (1132 mAh g−1, 0.1 A g−1) and promising rate capability (482 mAh g−1, 10 A g−1).

Co3O4 is a promising candidate as an anode material for the next generation lithium ion batteries because of its high theoretical storage capacity and energy density. However, the disadvantages of poor capacity retention caused by large volume changes during cycling and low rate capability due to its poor electronic conductivity frustrate its practical applications. We have developed a binary nanocomposite based on Co3O4 and porous carbon nanofibers synthesized via an electrospinning method followed by thermal treatment. As an anode for lithium ion batteries, the Co3O4/ porous carbon nanofibers composite exhibits a remarkably improved electrochemical performance in terms of lithium storage capacity (869.5 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C), high-initial Coulombic efficiency (73.8%), cycling stability (94.9% capacity retention at 50 cycles), and rate capability (403.6 mAh g−1 at 2 C at 25 cycles) compared to pure Co3O4. This improvement is attributed to the introduction of porous carbon nanofibers which could improve electrical conductivity of material and accommodate the volume expansion/contraction of Co3O4 nanoparticles during cycling.

In this paper, we report a facile strategy to design and prepare reduced graphene oxide (rGO) supported MoS2 nanoplatelet (MoS2/rGO) via a solvothermal co-assembly process. It is found that in the as-obtained MoS2/rGO nanocomposite, MoS2 possesses unique platelet structure and rGO is exfoliated due to the in situ growth of MoS2 nanoplatelet, leading to a large specific surface area, facilitating rapid diffusion of lithium ions. The nanocomposite is used as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries and displays a high initial charge capacity (1382[Formula: see text]mA[Formula: see text]h[Formula: see text]g[Formula: see text]), excellent rate capability and cycling stability. The remarkable lithium storage performance of MoS2/rGO nanocomposite is mainly ascribed to the inherent nanostructure of the MoS2, and the synergistic effect between rGO nanosheets and MoS2 nanoplatelets.
