Na-ion Battery is attractive alternative to Li-ion battery due to the natural abundance of sodium resource. Searching for suitable anode materials is one of the critical issues for Na-ion battery due to the low Nastorage activity of carbon materials. In this work, we synthesized a nanohybrid anode consisting of ultrafine SnO2 anchored on few-layered reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by a facile hydrothermal route. The SnO2/rGO hybrid exhibits a high capacity, long cycle life and good rate capability. The hybrid can deliver a high charge capacity of 324 mAh g(SnO2)(-1) at 50 mA g(-1). At 1600 mA g(-1) (2.4C), it can still yield a charge capacity of 200 mAh g(SnO2)(-1). After 100 cycles at 100 mA g(-1), the hybrid can retain a high charge capacity of 369 mAh g(SnO2)(-1). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ex situ transmission electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate the origin of the excellent electrochemical Na-storage properties of SnO2/rGO.
