摘要
We report a facile one-pot solvothermal route for synthesizing ZnFe2O4/graphene nanocomposites. XRD, SEM and TEM results demonstrate that ZnFe2O4 nanospheres with a size of about 100-200 nm are uniformly dispersed on graphene nanosheets. Each ZnFe2O4 nanosphere is assembled by many nanoparticles around 10 nm. When evaluated as anode for Li-ion batteries, ZnFe2O4/graphene nanocomposites deliver a first discharge capacity of 1400 mAh g(-1) and remain a reversible capacity up to 704.2 mAh g(-1) after 50 cycles. ZnFe2O4/graphene nanocomposites also exhibit ameliorative rate capacity of 271.8 mAh g(-1) at the current of 800 mA g(-1), which can recover to 814 mAh g(-1) when the current density is reduced back to 100 mA g(-1). The enhanced electrochemical performances of the nanocomposites are ascribed to the confining and conducting effects of graphene and the synergistic effects between the conductive graphene and ZnFe2O4 nanospheres.
