▎ 摘  要

A facile method has been developed to synthesize Sn-based nanoparticle-decorated graphene through simultaneous growth of SnO2 nanoparticles and a carbonaceous polymer film on graphene oxide sheets followed by heat treatment at various temperatures (250, 550, 750, and 900 degrees C). Detailed characterization of the resulting composite material using transmission electron microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy suggests that Sn-based nanoparticles were reliably bound to the graphene surface through a carbon film. Cyclic voltammograms and galvanostatic technique were used to investigate electrochemical properties of the Sn-based composite material as the anode of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Samples obtained with 550 degrees C heat treatment, which contained mixed Sn-based components (Sn, SnO, SnO2), exhibit the best electrochemical performance among the series of nanocomposites in terms of specific capacity and cycling stability.
