Topotactically Synthesized TiO2 Nanowires as Promising Anode Materials for High-performance Lithium-ion Batteries

TiO2 Nanobelt@Co9S8 Composites as Promising Anode Materials for Lithium and Sodium Ion Batteries

TiO₂ anodes have attracted great attention due to their good cycling stability for lithium ion batteries and sodium ion batteries (LIBs and SIBs). Unfortunately, the low specific capacity and poor conductivity limit their practical application. The mixed phase TiO₂ nanobelt (anatase and TiO₂-B) based Co₉S₈ composites have been synthesized via the solvothermal reaction and subsequent calcination...

Ternary CNTs@TiO2/CoO Nanotube Composites: Improved Anode Materials for High Performance Lithium Ion Batteries

TiO₂ nanotubes (NTs) synthesized by electrochemical anodization are discussed as very promising anodes for lithium ion batteries, owing to their high structural stability, high surface area, safety, and low production cost. However, their poor electronic conductivity and low Li⁺ ion diffusivity are the main drawbacks that prevent them from achieving high electrochemical performance. Herein, we ...

Porous TiO2/C nanocomposite shells as a high-performance anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Porous TiO2/C nanocomposite shells with high capacity, excellent cycle stability, and rate performance have been prepared. The synthesis involves coating colloidal TiO2 nanoshells with a resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) layer with controllable thickness through a sol-gel-like process, and calcining the composites at 700 °C in an inert atmosphere to induce crystallization from amorphous TiO2 to anat...

SnO2 Nanowires on Carbon Nanotube Film as a High Performance Anode Material for Flexible Li-ion Batteries

Today, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most common rechargeable batteries used in electronic devices. SnO2 with theoretical specific capacity of 782 mAh/g is among the best anode materials for LIBs.
