Abstract	A strongly coupled mesoporous SnO2–graphene hybrid has been prepared via direct nucleation, growth, and anchoring of a SnO2 nanocrystal on graphene substrate under microwave irradiation followed by heat-treatment. Investigations reveal that the well-dispersed SnO2 nanocrystals with a uniform particle size of 3–5 nm are homogeneously distributed on the surface of graphene through strong chemical attachment and electrical interaction. The formed structure exhibits a high specific surface area (280.7 m2 g−1) and an ideal synergistic effect, which can provide improved activity and durability for the electrochemical and photocatalytic reaction. Lithium-ion battery performance and photocatalytic activity of the resultant mesoporous SnO2–graphene hybrid are thoroughly investigated. In comparison to bare SnO2 nanoparticles, the hybrid shows substantial enhancement in electrochemical lithium storage properties and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. More strikingly, the as-synthesized SnO2–graphene hybrid anode could deliver initial discharge and charge capacities of 2445.7 and 1329.4 mAh g−1 with a high initial Coulombic efficiency (54.4%), as well as an excellent cycling stability.
