This paper reports a simplified one-step hydrothermal approach to prepare the graphene–SnO2–amorphous carbon (Gr–SnO2–C) composites which have a fixed SnO2content and various graphene to amorphous carbon (Gr/C) mass ratio as anode for Li-ion batteries. The Gr–SnO2–C with a Gr/C mass ratio of 1:4 shows the best cycling stability at a current density of 300 mA g−1. Then, at a low current density of 50 mA g−1, it reveals a reversible capacity of around 878 mA h g−1after 50 cycles. By studying the microstructure evolution and electrochemical performance as a function of the Gr/C mass ratio, it is discovered that the Gr/C mass ratio can affect the Gr–SnO2–C composites in the aspects of porous structures, conductivity of active materials and microstructural stability. The enhanced performance of the Gr–SnO2–C composites is attributed to the synergism between the graphene, amorphous carbon and SnO2nanoparticles.
