Abstract
SnO2 quantum dots/reduced graphene oxide (SnO2/rGO) composite has been successfully prepared by a rapid microwave-irradiation process and subsequent annealing treatment. SEM and TEM results reveal that SnO2 quantum dots with the sizes of 1–5nm are uniformly anchored on rGO nanosheets. The SnO2/rGO composite as an anode material presents a high initial discharge capacity of 1628mAh/g and maintains a reversible capacity of 797mAh/g after 100 cycles. After being cycled at various rates for 100 cycles, the capacity can recover to 777mAh/g at 100mA/g. The high reversible capacity, long cycling life and good rate performance can be attributed to the size effect of SnO2 quantum dots and the synergistic effect from rGO nanosheets.
