A team from the University of Technology, Sydney (Australia) and Gyeongsang National University (S. Korea) have developed SnO2 @graphene nanocomposites for use as anodes in sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries. The material also demonstrated a good high rate capability for reversible sodium storage. —Su et al.
