The structure of the Fe@AgNPs-AETrGO composite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical performance was investigated at different charge/discharge current rates by using CR2032 coin-type cells and cyclic voltammetry (CV). It was found that the spherical Fe@AuNPs were highly dispersed on the rGO sheets. Moreover, the Fe@AuNPs-AETrGO composite showed high specific gravimetric capacity of about 1500 mAh g(-1) and long-term cycle stability.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessReduced graphene oxideMetal nanoparticleCore-shellAnodeLithium-ion batteryArticle21123185319210.1007/s11581-015-1520-1Q1WOS:000365427400005Q3
