“…The sulphur content was found to be B71 wt% in the yolk-shell nanostructures, accounting for B53 wt% of the electrode mix, with a typical sulphur mass loading of 0.4-0.6 mg cm À 2 . The contribution of TiO 2 to the total capacity is very small in the voltage range used in our work 38,39 . The sulphur-TiO 2 yolk-shell nanoarchitecture exhibited stable cycling performance over 1,000 charge/discharge cycles at 0.5 C (1 C ¼ 1,673 mA g À 1 ) as displayed in Fig.…”

Sulphur is an attractive cathode material with a high specific capacity of 1,673 mAh g À 1 , but its rapid capacity decay owing to polysulphide dissolution presents a significant technical challenge. Despite much efforts in encapsulating sulphur particles with conducting materials to limit polysulphide dissolution, relatively little emphasis has been placed on dealing with the volumetric expansion of sulphur during lithiation, which will lead to cracking and fracture of the protective shell. Here, we demonstrate the design of a sulphur-TiO 2 yolk-shell nanoarchitecture with internal void space to accommodate the volume expansion of sulphur, resulting in an intact TiO 2 shell to minimize polysulphide dissolution. An initial specific capacity of 1,030 mAh g À 1 at 0.5 C and Coulombic efficiency of 98.4% over 1,000 cycles are achieved. Most importantly, the capacity decay after 1,000 cycles is as small as 0.033% per cycle, which represents the best performance for long-cycle lithium-sulphur batteries so far.

“…The performance of lithium-ion batteries mainly depends on the physical and chemical properties of the cathode and anode materials. TiO 2 has been regarded as a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its structural characteristics, low cost, safety and environmental benignity [1][2][3]. However, its practical capacity and high-rate capability are limited due to the low Li-ion diffusivity and electronic conductivity during reversible Li-ion insertion/extraction process [4][5][6].…”

“…Among titania polymorphs, viz., rutile, anatase, brookite, TiO 2 -B, etc., anatase and, especially, TiO 2 -B demonstrate the best electrochemical performance [9]. Anatase and Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 of electrochemical quality are usually obtained from organic derivatives of titanium.…”

Amorphous TiO 2 obtained by adding TiCl 4 to an alkaline medium crystallizes slowly and upon 3 years ageing transforms to nanosized anatase containing an admixture of brookite. The hydrothermal treatment of this sample in solutions of lithium hydroxide leads to anatase nanoleaves, and the more concentrated LiOH solution, the greater the nanoleaves and the smaller their specific surface area. The thermal treatment of nanoleaves leads to the bulk rutile, and the greater the specific surface area of anatase nanoleaves, the lower the anatase-rutile transition temperature. This is in line with conclusions based on the thermodynamic stability of nanosized anatase over the bulk rutile.
