A composite consisting of Bi2O3 nanoparticles encapsulated by three-dimensional (3D) porous nitrogen doped graphene is reported. Due to the 3D porous structure, the composite has large specific surface area of 112 m(2) g(-1), which can increase the contact area between active material and electrolyte. In addition, the 3D porous conductive framework can not only facilitate the fast electron transport and Li+ diffusion but also enhance the electrical conductivity of the composite. As expected, the composite shows an outstanding rate capability of 273 mAh g(-1) at 10000 mA g(-1) and a capacity of 417 mAh g(-1) over 100 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g(-1). Therefore, the composite is a promising candidate as an anode material for high-rate lithium ion batteries. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
