In this work, we present a straightforward, eco-friendly, one-step hydrothermal protocol for the synthesis of a new type of Fe2OB-SnO2/graphene hybrid, in which zero-dimensional （0D） SnO2 nanoparticles with an average diameter of 8 nm and one-dimensional （1D） Fe203 nanorods with a length of -150 nm are homogeneously attached onto two-dimensional （2D） reduced graphene oxide nanosheets, generating a unique point-line-plane （0D-1D-2D） architecture. The achieved Fe203-SnO2/graphene exhibits a well-defined morphology, a uniform size, and good monodispersity. As anode materials for LIBs, the hybrids exhibit a remarkable reversible capacity of 1,530 mA·g^-1 at a current density of 100 ma·g^-1 after 200 cycles, as well as a high rate capability of 615 mAh·g^-1 at 2,000 mA·g^-1 Detailed characterizations reveal that the superior lithium-storage capacity and good cycle stability of the hybrids arise from their peculiar hybrid nanostructure and conductive graphene matrix, as well as the synergistic interaction among the components.展开更多

For this purpose, the hybrid supercapacitor power cell were prepared composing 3D porous graphene decorated with Co_3O_4-CeO_2 nano-particles herein by using flower stem as biotemplate. The resulting samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy（FESEM）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, Raman spectra, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy（XRD）, nitrogen adsorption and desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectrogram（XPS）, and electrochemical test. The 3D graphene acted as an excellent carrier together with Co_3O_4-CeO_2 nano-particles, boosting the specific capacitance of composite（221 F/g）, which exceeded the theoretical value limit. This facile biotemplate method of research provided an eco-friendly and cut-price route to obtain high-quality graphene and Co_3O_4-CeO_2nano-composites owing to the unique porous structure derived from original template（flower stem）. The finding presented a simple strategy for fabrication of novel energy storage devices.展开更多
