A three dimensional SiOx/C@RGO nanocomposite as a high energy anode material for lithium-ion batteries

Abstract
A co-modification strategy to improve the electrode performance of SiO-based materials through the use of a carbon coating layer and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) network has been developed. The as-synthesized SiOx/C@RGO nanocomposites showed excellent specific capacity, cycling performance and rate capability when used as an anode in lithium-ion batteries.
