Self-assembled interwoven CoS2/carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/graphene (CCG) composite with hierarchical architecture is synthesized via a facile hydrothermal reaction. In the well-designed architecture of CCG, the one-dimensional CNTs and two-dimensional graphene nanosheets construct a highly conductive, porous and flexible network, which can not only effectively suppress the aggregation of CoS2 nanoparticles and increase the contact area between the composite anode and the electrolyte, but also offer sufficent channels for electron transfer and ionic diffusion and accommodate the volume expansion of the CoS2 during the charge/discharge process. Therefore, when CCG is used as anode for lithium-ion batteries, it exhibits much better electrochemical performance than that of bare CoS2: it delivers a high initial discharge capacity of 993 mAh g(-1) at 100 mA g(-1); it also demonstrates excellent rate performance with a high rate capacity of 212 mAh g(-1) even under high current density of 2000 mA g(-1). In this regard, it is promising for CCG to be used as a high-capacity anode for lithium-ion batteries. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
