Designed synthesis of SnO2-polyaniline-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries

Three dimensional SnO2-based nanocomposites, i.e., SnO2 nanoparticles anchored on polyaniline nanoplates@reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (SPG) viaπ–π stacking, present excellent cyclability and high capacity with a reversible storage capacity of 573.6 mA h g−1 accompanied by coulombic efficiency of 99.26% over 50 cycles when used as an anode in a lithium ion battery.
