    Abstract:

    Through the modified household microwave oven system, the graphene-based nanocomposites were in-situ and efficiently synthesized. Results show that the graphene nanosheets can be uniformly generated on the surface of the commercial anatase TiO2 nanoparticles by microwave-assisted method in a few minutes (the minimum duration is 3 min) through the acute corona discharge of SiO2/Si. The size of graphene nanosheet is about 50 nm, and few defects can be observed. The crystal structure of anatase TiO2 remains due to the short production period and low synthesis temperature (600~700 °C). The excellent electrical conductivity of graphene can improve the Li ion diffusion and the electron transport, and decrease the contact resistance at the interface of electrode/electrolyte. The as-prepared graphene/TiO2 nanocomposite electrode shows a two-fold increase of capacity with good cycling stability under the condition of 1 C (170 mA·g-1), compared with the traditional TiO2 nanoparticles. The specific capacity gap of graphene/TiO2 nanocomposite is substantially widened under different charge-discharge rates (1~5 C), compared with that of the commercial anatase TiO2 nanoparticles.
