Abstract: In this work,a facile,one-pot route has been applied to synthesize nanohybrids based on mixed oxide NiFe₂O₄ and reduced graphene oxide (rGO).The hybrid is constructed by nanosized NiFe₂O₄ crystals confined by few-layered rGO sheets.The formation mechanism and microstructure of the hybrids have been clarified by X-ray diffraction,Raman spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy,and transmission electron microscopy.Electrochemical tests show that the performance of NiFe₂O₄ can be considerably improved by rGO incorporation.The performance improvement can be attributed to the two-dimensional conductive channels and the unique hybrid structure rGO constructed.The easy synthesis and good electrochemical performance of NiFe₂O₄/rGO hybrid make it a promising anode material for Li-ion batteries.
