Reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/SnO2 composites were prepared by a facile hydrothermal method followed by a subsequent calcination at 500℃ in a high-purity nitrogen atmosphere.The composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope.The electrochemical performance of the rGO/SnO2 composites as anode materials were measured by galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling.The rGO/SnO2 composite (about 20 wt.％ of rGO) showed a reversible capacity of 590 mAh/g after 20 cycles and a good cycling performance for Lithium-ion battery.The good electrochemical performance of rGO/SnO2 composite can be ascribed to the fact that rGO can not only improve the conductivity of the SnO2 but also accommodate the large volume variation during the charge and discharge process.These results suggest that rGO/SnO2 composite would be a promising anode material for lithium battery.
