Unique reduced graphene oxide as efficient anode material in Li ion battery

Unique reduced graphene oxide named solar reduced graphene oxide (SRGO) was found to be an excellent anode material in Li ion battery. SRGO exhibited first cycle discharge- and charge-capacities as high as 1480 and 880 mAh $$\hbox {g}^{-1}$$ , respectively. Moreover, the columbic efficiency was found to be >95% and the specific capacity retention even after 60 cycles was >500 mAh $$\hbox {g}^{-1}$$ .
