A facile hydrothermal route has been developed to prepare MnO2/graphene nanocomposites and MnO2 nanoparticles are uniformly anchored on graphene nanosheets. The composite were studied as the anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The surface of graphene is modified by MnO2 nanoparticles which are 10-30 nm in size and homogeneously anchor on graphene sheets. The composite exhibits superior lithium battery performance with higher reversible capacity and better cycling performance. The reversible capacity is up to 781.5 mAh g-1 at a current of 100 mA g-1 and maintains 96% after 50 cycles. The enhanced lithium storage performance is due to the synergetic effect of graphene and MnO2.

Graphene has unique two-dimensional nanostructure with high specific surface areas, superior mechanical properties which has promising applications for the development of high performance nanocomposite materials. Most of previous work on graphene nanocomposites addresses on polymer matrix. In the present work, we have fabricated zirconia and graphene nanocomposites (ZrO2/GNS) by simple mechanical mixing and pressureless sintering process. Microstructural observations of the composite show the homogeneous and random distributions of graphene nanosheet in the zirconia matrix. Scanning electronic microscopy observes partially pulled out graphene nanosheets with well combined interface with the matrix in fractural surface, showing promising reinforcement effects.

Supercritical CO2 (scCO2) is often used to prepare graphene/metal oxide nanocomposite anodes for high performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) by the assisted solvothermal method due to its low viscosity, high diffusion, zero surface tension and good surface wettability. However, the formation mechanism of metal oxides and the combination mechanism between metal oxides and graphene in this system are superficial. In this work, a cobalt monoxide/graphene (CoO/G) nanocomposite is fabricated via the scCO2 assisted solvothermal method followed by thermal treatment. We elucidate the mechanism that amorphous intermediates obtain by the scCO2 assisted solvothermal method, and then ultrafine CoO nanoparticles are crystallized during the heat treatment. In addition, scCO2 can promote CoO to be tightly fixed on the surface of graphene nanosheets by interfacial chemical bonds, which can effectively improve its cycle stability and rate performance. As expected, the CoO/G composites exhibit higher specific capacity (961 mAh g−1 at 100 mA g−1), excellent cyclic stability and rate capability (617 mAh g−1 after 500 cycles at 1000 mA g−1) when applied as an anode of LIB.
