Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were anchored on GO nanosheets and evaluated as negative electrode materials for high-performance aqueous batteries. The prepared samples were characterized by using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, TGA, and TEM. The energystorage behavior of the samples was investigated by testing high-mass-loaded (ca. 8.5 mg · cm À2 ) Fe 3 O 4 ÀrGO electrodes with different electrochemical techniques, including cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge/discharge, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The nanocomposites showed better electrochemical storage properties than pure Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and rGO nanosheets, suggesting superior performance through synergistic effects. Accordingly, the Fe 3 O 4 ÀrGO nanocomposite with an optimized composition of [60 : 40] showed a maximum capacity of 402 C · g À1 (111.6 mA · h · g À1 ) and superior rate capability (ca. 40 % capacity retention with a 20-fold increase in scan rate) compared to the pure oxide. To further evaluate the applicability of the Fe 3 O 4 ÀrGO nanocomposite, aqueous batteries based on the Fe 3 O 4 ÀrGO [60 : 40] nanocomposite as negative electrodes and NiCoMnO 4 as positive electrodes were assembled and examined by using various electrochemical techniques. Fe 3 O 4 ÀrGO//NiCoMnO 4 cells demonstrated a maximum specific energy of 26 Wh · kg À1 and a maximum specific power of 6.8 kW · kg À1 , with a desirable rate capability. All of the obtained results suggest the Fe 3 O 4 ÀrGO nanocomposite as a promising negative electrode material for high-power aqueous batteries.[a] J.
