The two specific systems represent different electrode reaction mechanisms, namely alloying, and conversion respectively. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) analysis confirms the uniform distribution of SnO2 (similar to 2 nm), and Fe3O4 (similar to 8 nm) particulates on ultrathin TRG nanosheets and highlights the importance of surfactant free synthesis. The SnO2-TRG, and Fe3O4-TRG exhibited the maximum reversible capacity of similar to 947, and similar to 1024 mA h g(-1), respectively. The results show that such graphene based composite materials can be effectively used as prospective anodes for LIB applications. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
