Improved electrochemical performance of anode materials for high energy density lithium-ion batteries through Sn(SnO₂)–SiO₂/graphene-based nanocomposites prepared by a facile and low-cost approach

Novel anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, nanocomposites of Sn (or SnO₂) and SiO₂ with graphene-based sheets (GO, rGO and NrGO), were synthesized by a facile and low-cost technique. The capacity of all composites was relatively high as compared to traditional graphite.
