Fabrication and enhanced electrochemical performances of Mo03/graphene composite as anode material for lithium-ion batteries

Molybdenum trioxide (Mo0#)/graphene composite were prepared by integrating Mo03 and graphene in dimethylformamide (DMF). The morphology and structure of the materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical properties of Mo03/graphene composite with different ratios were studied as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries using galavanostatic charge-discharge and cyclic voltammetry. We observed that the Mo03/graphene anode with a weight ratio of 1:1 (Mo03 graphene) exhibits a high lithium storage capacity of 967 mA h g-1 at the current density of 500 mA g-1, satisfactory cycling stability and good rate capability
