The nanoscale TiO2 was synthesized and their electrochemical properties as the anode electrode materials for rechargeable Li-ion batteries were measured. The structure, morphology and electrochemical properties of the nanoscale TiO2 composites synthesized were characterized in detail by X-ray (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical measurement. The first discharge capacities were 126 mAh/g for the nanoscale TiO2 at the current density of 100 mA/g at ambient temperatures. The specific capacities were stabilized at around 57mAh/g after 20 cycles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
