title: Anchoring Sb6O13Nanocrystals on Graphene Sheets for Enhanced Lithium Storage.
abstract: Sb6O13/reduced graphene oxide (Sb6O13/rGO) nanocomposite was synthesized by the solvothermal method using Sb2O3and graphene oxide as raw material. On the basis of the physical and electrochemical characterizations, Sb6O13nanocrystals of 10-20 nm size were uniformly anchored on rGO sheets, and the nanocomposite displayed a large reversible specific capacity of 1271 mA h g-1and an excellent cyclability of 1090 mA h g-1after 140 cycles at 100 mA g-1when proposed as a potential anode material for lithium ion batteries, emphasizing the advantages of anchoring of Sb6O13nanocrystals on rGO sheets for the maximum utilization of electrochemically active Sb6O13and rGO for lithium storage.
