•PbGeO3/PPy nanocomposites are successfully fabricated for the first time.•PbGeO3 nanowire and PbGeO3/PPy nanocomposites were characterized as anode materials in lithium ion batteries for the first time.•PPy coating can improve the electrochemical performance of PbGeO3 by increasing the electronic conductivity and buffering the volume changes during cycling.•The PbGeO3/PPy nanocomposites deliver a capacity of 662 mA h g−1 after 50 cycles.
PGO/PPy nanocomposites were prepared via a low temperature chemical coating method for the first time. Electrochemical measurements demonstrate that the PbGeO3 electrodes retain a capacity of 657 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles and possess excellent rate capability indicating that the PGO/PPy nanocomposites could be used as a candidate as high-capacity anode for lithium batteries.
