NOVELTY - Electrode comprises a group IV-VI compound and a transition metal group VI compound on a three-dimensional graphene network, where a major portion of the transition metal group VI compound is provided on top of the group IV-VI compound or in close proximity. The transition metal group VI compound contributes to the decomposition of a lithium group VI compound at the surface of the group IV-VI compound, where the group IV-VI compound has formula MX2. The transition metal group VI compound comprises a transition metal and a group VI element. USE - Electrode for use in lithium-ion battery (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The electrode forms an interconnected porous network allowing rapid lithium uptake and high electron mobility, provides a binder-free, lightweight current collector which allows significant weight savings, allows rapid lithium uptake and electron mobility, and promotes catalytic breakdown of lithium sulfide, cycle coulombic efficiency and overall charge/discharge capacities. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Electrode comprises a group IV-VI compound and a transition metal group VI compound on a three-dimensional graphene network, where a major portion of the transition metal group VI compound is provided on top of the group IV-VI compound or in close proximity. The transition metal group VI compound contributes to the decomposition of a lithium group VI compound at the surface of the group IV-VI compound, where the group IV-VI compound has formula MX2. The transition metal group VI compound comprises a transition metal and a group VI element, where the group VI element is selected from sulfur, oxygen or selenium. M=selected from tin, germanium or silicon; and X=selected from sulfur, oxygen or selenium. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following: (1) a method for producing an electrode for a lithium-ion battery, which involves depositing carbon compound on a porous metal scaffold by chemical vapor deposition to obtain a three-dimensional graphene, bringing a group IV compound into contact with the three-dimensional graphene, subjecting the group IV compound and the three-dimensional graphene to a hydrothermal treatment to obtain a group IV-VI compound surface structure on the three-dimensional graphene, and then bringing a transition metal group VI compound into contact with the three-dimensional grapheme; and (2) a method for producing a lithium-ion battery, which involves providing a counter electrode and a membrane, inserting the electrode, filling an electrolyte into the casing of the lithium-ion battery, and then closing the casing of the lithium-ion battery. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a graphical representation depicting cyclic voltammetry curve of the electrode.
