Abstract

In this work, graphene nanosheets (GNSs) were prepared by the thermal pyrolysis of graphene oxide (GO) at 900 °C for 3 h, and their electrochemical performances as anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) were also investigated. TEM and SEM images clearly showed that the as-prepared GNSs had a transparent two-dimensional (2D) structure with 5~10 multilayers. The other experimental results (XRD, Raman, TG and FT-IR) confirmed the successful synthesis of GNSs. Electrochemical measurements revealed that GNSs had an initial discharge capacity of 1276 mAh g-1 and still remained 723 mAh g-1 after 50 cycles, indicating that the as-prepared GNSs shows a great potential as anode materials for LIBs.
