A new ternary Mo-SnO2-graphite composite has been constructed via hydrothermal and ball milling. The Mo/SnO2 hybrids were homogeneously dispersed in graphite nanosheets. In the Mo-SnO2 graphite, Mo can inhibit the Sn nanoparticle aggregation, enhance the reversible conversion reaction in lithiation, and improve the electrochemical performance. Consequently, the Mo-SnO2-graphite composite contributes a high capacity of 1317.4 mAh at 0.2 A g(-1) after 200 cycles, remarkable rate property of 514.0 mAh g(-1) at 5 A g(-1), and long-term cyclic stabilization of 759.0 mAh after 950 cycles at 1.0 A g(-1). With outstanding electrochemical performance and facial synthesis, the ternary Mo-SnO2-graphite is a hopeful anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
