International Journal of Smart Grid and Clean Energy Fabrication and enhanced electrochemical performances of MoO /graphene composite as anode material for 3 lithium-ion batteries * Anjon Kumar Mondal , Shuangqiang Chen, Dawei Su Hao Liu, Guoxiu Wang Centre for Clean Energy Technology, School of Chemistry and Forensic Science University of Technology, Sydney, Broadway, Sydney, NSW 2007, Australia Abstract Molybdenum trioxide (MoO )/graphene composite were prepared by integrating MoO and graphene in 3 3 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 MoO /graphene composite with different ratios were studied as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries using 3 galvanostatic charge-discharge and cyclic voltammetry. We observed that the MoO /graphene anode with a weight 3 ratio of 1:1 (MoO :graphene) exhibits a high lithium storage capacity of 967 mA h g-1 at the current density of 500 3 mA g-1, satisfactory cycling stability and good rate capability.
