Sb6O13/reduced graphene oxide (Sb6O13/rGO) nanocomposite was synthesized by the solvothermal method using Sb2O3 and as raw material. On basis of physical electrochemical characterizations, Sb6O13 nanocrystals 10-20 nm size were uniformly anchored on rGO sheets, displayed a large reversible specific capacity 1271 mA h g-1 an excellent cyclability 1090 after 140 cycles at 100 when proposed potential anode material for lithium ion batteries, emphasizing advantages anchoring sheets maximum utilization electrochemically active storage.
