Summary: In this study, a metal-organic framework (MOF) was used as a template to encapsulate in graphene aerogels (GA), forming Co3O4 micro-cubes@GA composite. GA acts as a conductive network and mechanical skeleton, providing high electrical conductivity and structural stability. The best long cycle life of Co3O4 microcubes@GA was achieved with a graphene oxide (GO) concentration of 3.0 mg ml(-1), reaching a high specific capacity of 1234.9 mAh g(-1) after 200 cycles.

Summary: The increasing demand for energy and limited fossil resources have led to the need for renewable energy sources. Issues such as CO2 emissions and rising fuel prices have also driven the development of hybrid and electric vehicles. Rechargeable batteries, notably lithium-ion batteries, play a crucial role in this context. However, the improvement of energy density in lithium-ion batteries has been constrained due to the low theoretical capacity of the graphite anode material commonly used. Tin (II) sulfide (SnS2) has attracted attention as a high-energy anode candidate because of its high theoretical capacity, although it has challenges such as poor conductivity and low initial efficiency. SnS2/carbon composites are seen as a promising solution to overcome these challenges.
