title: Facile synthesis of silicon nanoparticles inserted into graphene sheets as improved anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
abstract: Silicon nanoparticles have been successfully inserted into graphene sheets via a novel method combining freeze-drying and thermal reduction. The as-obtained Si/graphene nanocomposite exhibits remarkably enhanced cycling performance and rate performance compared with bare Si nanoparticles for lithium-ion batteries.
