A 3D nitrogen-doped graphene/multi-walled carbon nanotube (CS-GO-NCNT) crosslinked network material was successfully synthesized utilizing chitosan and melamine as carbon and nitrogen sources, concomitant with the incorporation of multi-wall carbon nanotubes and employing freeze drying technology. The material amalgamates the merits of 1D/2D hybrid carbon materials, wherein 1D carbon nanotubes confer robustness and expedited electron transport pathways, while 2D graphene sheets facilitate rapid ion migration. Furthermore, the introduction of nitrogen heteroatoms serves to furnish additional active sites for lithium storage. When served as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the CS-GO-NCNT electrode delivered a reversible capacity surpassing 500 mAh·g^-1, markedly outperforming commercial graphite anodes. Even after 300 cycles at a high current density of 1 A·g^-1, it remained a reversible capacity of up to 268 mAh·g^-1.
