Ultralong　cycle　life,　high　energy,　and　power　density　rechargeable　lithium-ion　batteries　are　crucial　to　the　ever-increasing　large-scale　electric　energy　storage　for　renewable　energy　and　sustainable　road　transport.　However,　the　commercial　graphite　anode　cannot　perform　this　challenging　task　due　to　its　low　theoretical　capacity　and　poor　rate-capability　performance.　Metal　oxides　hold　much　higher　capacity　but　still　are　plagued　by　low　rate　capability　and　serious　capacity　degradation.　Here,　a　novel　strategy　is　developed　to　prepare　binder-free　and　mechanically　robust　CoO/graphene　electrodes,　wherein　homogenous　and　full　coating　of　-Co(OH)(2)　nanosheets　on　graphene,　through　a　novel　electrostatic　induced　spread　growth　method,　plays　a　key　role.　The　combined　advantages　of　large　2D　surface　and　moderate　inflexibility　of　the　as-obtained　-Co(OH)(2)/graphene　hybrid　enables　its　easy　coating　on　Cu　foil　by　a　simple　layer-by-layer　stacking　process.　Devices　made　with　these　electrodes　exhibit　high　rate　capability　over　a　temperature　range　from　0　to　55　degrees　C　and,　most　importantly,　maintain　excellent　cycle　stability　up　to　5000　cycles　even　at　a　high　current　density.
