Nanoflake nickel hydroxide and reduced graphene oxide composite (Ni(OH)(2)/rGO) has been prepared by a facile method of homogenous coprecipitation and subsequent reduction. The measurement results demonstrate that Ni(OH)(2)/rGO as an anode material for lithium ion batteries has 1500 and 1110 mAh g(-1) for the first discharge and charge capacities, respectively, as well as 1003 mAh g(-1) after 40 cycles. The Ni(OH)(2)/rGO composite is a promising candidate for high capacity lithium ion batteries. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
