Abstract
Novel anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, nanocomposites of Sn (or SnO<sub>2</sub>) and SiO<sub>2</sub> with graphene-based sheets (GO, rGO and NrGO), were synthesized by a facile and low-cost technique. The capacity of all composites was relatively high as compared to traditional graphite.
