ABSTRACTAn efficient microwave-assisted polyol (MP) approach is report to prepare SnO2/graphene hybrid as an anode material for lithium ion batteries. The key factor to this MP method is to start with uniform graphene oxide (GO) suspension, in which a large amount of surface oxygenate groups ensures homogeneous distribution of the SnO2 nanoparticles onto the GO sheets under the microwave irradiation. The period for the microwave heating only takes 10 min. The obtained SnO2/graphene hybrid anode possesses a reversible capacity of 967 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and a high Coulombic efficiency of 80.5% at the first cycle. The cycling performance and the rate capability of the hybrid anode are enhanced in comparison with that of the bare graphene anode. This improvement of electrochemical performance can be attributed to the formation of a 3-dimensional framework. Accordingly, this study provides an economical MP route for the fabrication of SnO2/graphene hybrid as an anode material for high-performance Li-ion batteries.

As anode material for lithium-ion batteries, graphite has the disadvantage of relatively low specific capacity. In this work, a simple yet effective strategy to overcome the disadvantages by using a composite of flake graphite (FG) and small-sized graphene (SG) has been developed. The FG/SG composite prepared by dispersing FG and SG (90:10 w/w) in ethanol and drying delivers much higher specific capacity than that of individual component except for improved rate capability. More surprisingly, FG/SG composite delivers higher reversible capacity than its theoretical value calculated according to the theoretical capacities of graphite and graphene. Therefore, a synergistic effect between FG and SG in lithium storage is clearly discovered. To explain it, we propose a model that abundant nanoscopic cavities were formed due to physical adhesion between FG and SG and could accommodate extra lithium.

In this work, we developed a simple one-step hydrothermal method to successfully prepare Fe3O4/FeS-reduced graphene oxide (Fe3O4/FeS/rGO) composite directly, which is a novel Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) anode material. The characterization of Fe3O4/FeS/rGO composite demonstrates that octahedral Fe3O4/FeS particles are uniformly deposited on the rGO, leading to a strong synergy between them. The excellent structural design can make Fe3O4/FeS/rGO composite to have higher reversible capacity (744.7[Formula: see text]mAh/g at 0.1[Formula: see text]C after 50 cycles), excellent cycling performance and superior rate capability. This outstanding electrochemical behavior can be attributed to the conductivity network of rGO, which improves the composite electrode conductivity, facilitates the diffusion and transfer of ions and prevents the aggregation and pulverization of Fe3O4/FeS particles during the charging and discharging processes. Moreover, the Fe3O4/FeS/rGO electrode surface is covered with a thin solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) film and the octahedral structure of Fe3O4/FeS particles is still clearly visible, which indicates that composite electrode has excellent interface stability. We believe that the design of this composite structure will provide a new perspective for the further study of other transition metal oxides for LIBs.
