Hydrothermal Synthesis and Electrochemical Behavior of the SnO₂/rGO as Anode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

In this work, the hydrothermal method was employed to produce SnO₂/rGO as anode material. Nanostructured SnO₂ was prepared to enhance reversibility and to deal with the undesirable volume changes during cycling. The SnO₂/rGO hybrid exhibits long cycle life in lithium-ion storage capacity and rate capability with an initial discharge capacity of 1327 mAh/g at 0.1 C rate. These results demonstrate that a fabricated SnO₂/rGO matrix will be a possible way to obtain high rate performance.
