Abstract
In this study, $Fe_3O_4$/graphene and CuO/graphene composites were synthesized by the polyol reduction method using ethylene glycol, and their performances as the anodes of lithium ion batteries were evaluated. The physical characteristics of the synthesized composites were analyzed by SEM, XRD, and TGA. In addition, their electrochemical properties were examined by the electrochemical analysis techniques such as charge/discharge performance, cyclic voltammetry, and AC impedance spectroscopy. The cells composed of $Fe_3O_4$/graphene and CuO/graphene composites showed better performance than the graphene electrode, due to the dispersion of nanosized $Fe_3O_4$ or CuO on the surface of graphene and the formation of good electrical network in the electrode. Their composites kept the reversible capacity more than 600 mAh/g even after the charging/discharging of 30 cycles.
