A CoFe2O4-nanocrystal/ graphene-nanosheet (CFO/GS) nanohybrid has been synthesized by a facile in situ solvothermal route and has been investigated as a promising high-performance anode material for Li-ion batteries. The crystal size of CoFe2O4 can be controlled to 10-20 nm by pre-treating the precursors before the solvothermal reactions. The method for synthesizing the CFO/GS hybrid can be extended to synthesize MFe2O4/graphene (MFe2O4/G, M = Mn and Ni) hybrids. The CFO/GS hybrid exhibits superior cycling stability and rate capability compared to bare CoFe2O4. The improved electrochemical performance can be attributed to a combination of the conducting, confining and dispersing effects of graphene.
