Graphene sheets with high surface area and aspect ratio are chosen as space restrictor to prevent the sintering and aggregation of nanoparticles during high temperature treatments （800 ℃）. In the resulting nanocomposite, each individual Fe2O3 nanoparticle （5 to 20 nm in diameter） is uniformly coated with a continuous and thin （two to five layers） graphitic carbon shell. Further, the core-shell nanoparticles are evenly distributed on graphene sheets. When used as anode materials for lithium ion batteries, the conductive-additive-free Fe2OB@C@G electrode shows outstanding Li＋ storage properties with large reversible specific capacity （864 mAh/g after 100 cycles）, excellent cyclic stability （120% retention after 100 cycles at 100 mA/g）, high Coulombic efficiency （-99%）, and good rate capability.展开更多
