Batteries: In Situ Formation of Conductive Metal Sulfide Domain in Metal Oxide Matrix: An Efficient Way to Improve the Electrochemical Activity of Semiconducting Metal Oxide (Adv. Funct. Mater. 31/2015)

Abstract

On page 4948, I. Y. Kim and co‐workers demonstrate that the in situ formation of metal sulfides using CS2 is effective in synthesizing novel nanocomposites consisting of Li0.96Ti1.08S2 domains embedded in Li4Ti5O12. The metallization of the semiconducting oxide in the composite formation is very efficient for exploring promising composite electrode materials with good rate characteristics.
