Qingyu Yan and colleagues report an environment-friendly approach to synthesize transition metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets hybrids, by combining the reduction of graphene oxide (GO) with the growth of metal oxide NPs in one step. The  synthesis technique can be a promising route to produce advanced electrode materials for Li-ion batteries.
