. As a material with high electrical conductivity and large surface area [19][20][21][22], graphene has attracted much attention for battery electrode applications. The hybrids of transition-metal-oxide nanocrystals attached onto graphene sheets have shown much improvement of LIB anode performance [23

molecules leading to better photocatalytic activity. One dimensional nanostructures, such as nanowires and nanorods, offer higher surface to volume ratio compared to nanoparticulate coatings on a flat plate [13]. The design of transitionmetal-oxide mesostructures has also been an area of interest for
