Surface amorphization provides unprecedented opportunities for altering and tuning material properties. Surface‐amorphized TiO2@graphene synthesized using a designed low temperature‐phase transformation technique exhibits significantly improved rate capability compared to well‐crystallized TiO2@graphene and bare TiO2 electrodes. These improvements facilitates lithium‐ion transport in both insertion and extraction processes and enhance electrolyte absorption capability.

Co9S8, Ni3S2, and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were combined to construct a graphene composite with two mixed metal sulfide components. Co9S8/RGO/Ni3S2 composite films were hydrothermal-assisted synthesized on nickel foam (NF) by using a modified "active metal substrate" route in which nickel foam acted as both a substrate and Ni source for composite films. It is found that the Co9S8/RGO/Ni3S2/NF electrode exhibits superior capacitive performance with high capability (13.53 F cm(-2) at 20 mA cm(-2), i.e., 2611.9 F g(-1) at 3.9 A g(-1)), excellent rate capability, and enhanced electrochemical stability, with 91.7% retention after 1000 continuous charge-discharge cycles even at a high current density of 80 mA cm(-2).

A “pseudocomposite” with unique nano-architecture of two Ni(OH)2/RGO layer was in situ synthesized on nickel foam (NF) using a facile onepot hydrothermal approach, which exhibits superior capacitive performance (15.65 F cm−2 at 7 mA cm−2, 90.6% capacity retention after 5000 cycles at 20 mA cm−2).
