Graphene-network-backboned architectures for high-performance lithium storage.

An efficient hydrothermal approach is demonstrated to fabricate a series of graphene-network-backboned hybrid architectures such as MoS₂/graphene and FeOx/graphene, showing high specific surface area, porous structure, and continuous graphene networks. Such unique architectures exhibit a high reversible capacity (about 1100 mA h g⁻¹) for lithium ion batteries. High-rate capabilities of full charge to discharge in 25-45 s with a long cycle life (1500 cycles) are achieved at different rates.
