▎ 摘　　要

A novel AB(5)-alloy oxide/graphene composite has been fabricated through a facile mixing of commercial oxidized AB(5)-alloy and graphene as anode materials for lithium ion batteries. Electrochemical measurements show that the composite delivers an initial discharge capacity of 1639.7 mAh g(-1) and maintains a high reversible capacity of 418.2 mAh g(-1) up to 180 cycles. The enhanced cycling stability could be attributed to the fact that AB(5)-alloy oxide/graphene composite can accommodate large volume change during cycling and maintain good electronic contact.
