A low cost, up-scalable and one-pot wet-mechanochemical approach is designed for fabricating TiO2–SnO2@graphene nanocomposites where TiO2 and SnO2 solid solution nanoparticles are evenly anchored on graphene sheets. As an anode material of lithium ion batteries (LIBs), the as-prepared nanocomposites deliver a superior rate performance of 388 mA h g−1 at 1.5 A g−1 and an outstanding reversible cycling stability (617 mA h g−1 at 0.4 A g−1 after 750 cycles, 92.2% capacity retention), due to the synergistic effects contributed from individual components, i.e., high specific capacity of SnO2, excellent conductivity of 3D porous ...
