Abstract

CoFe₂O₄-graphene nanocomposites (CoFe₂O₄-GNSs) have been synthesized through an ultrasonic method combined with calcination process. The nanocomposite calcinated at 350 °C shows better rate capabilities, e.g., 696, 495, 308, and 254 mAh g^-1 at 1, 2, 5, and 10 A g^-1, respectively.

Keywords: Anode materials; Cobalt ferrite; Graphene; Lithium ion battery.
