Sandwiched structures consisting of carbon coated SnO2 nanorod grafted on graphene have been synthesized based on a seed assisted hydrothermal growth to form graphene supported SnO2 nanorods, followed by a nanocarbon coating. As a potential anode for high power and energy applications, the hierarchical nanostructures exhibit a greatly enhanced synergic effect with an extremely high lithium storage capability of up to 1419 mA h g−1 benefiting from the advanced structural features.
