CuO microspheres are obtained from thermal oxidation of Cu2O microspheres. A facile approach directed by electrostatic self-assembly is used to fabricate graphene oxide wrapped CuO (CuO@GO). GO nanosheets directly used in batteries could reduce the preparation cost and pollution relative to reduced graphene oxide. As coating layers, GO could be electrochemically reduced to graphene insitu to obtain an additional 3D conductive network. The CuO@GO core-shell micro/nanocomposites exhibit significantly improved lithium storage capacity and cycling performance as compared to CuO microspheres or the physical mixture of CuO microspheres and GO nanosheets (CuO-GO-PM). Under a current density of 100mAg(-1), CuO@GO retains a high discharge capacity of approximately 590mAhg(-1) for up to 50cycles. After 200cycles at a current density of 1000mAg(-1), the discharge capacity of the CuO@GO is approximately 313mAhg(-1), which is approximately 3times larger than that of the CuO microspheres and CuO-GO-PM.
