ZnS@C/reduce graphene oxide (rGO) composite was prepared by solvothermal reaction-hydrothermal treatment route. ZnS nanocrystal coated by amorphous carbon (ZnS@C) was prepared by the first-step solvothermal reaction, then ZnS@C/rGO was prepared by the second-step hydrothermal treatment. The morphology and microstructure of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Electrochemical test results demonstrated that the as-prepared ZnS@C/rGO composite exhibited significantly enhanced electrochemical lithium storage performance in comparison to ZnS@C and ZnS/rGO. At the current density of 100 mA·g^-1, ZnS@C/rGO electrode delivered the reversible specific capacity of 1 101 mAh·g^-1 and 1 569 mAh·g^-1, respectively, at the 1st and 100th cycle. After 1 200 cycles at the different current densities, the reversible specific capacity of 1 096 mAh·g^-1 was remained at 2.0 A·g^-1, indicating its stable long-cycle performance.
