Silicon on conductive self-organized TiO2 nanotubes – A high capacity anode material for Li-ion batteries

Oxygen deficient, carbon coated self-organized TiO2 nanotubes as anode material for Li-ion intercalation

“…11,12 Anatase has a tetragonal unit cell that can theoretically accommodate one lithium for every titanium. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Nano-sized anatase TiO 2 has been in the focus of the majority of studies on Li insertion. This composition is also most frequently reported as the maximum electrochemical insertion limit of Li into bulk anatase, although concentrations as high as 0.6 have been reported.…”

Electrochemical lithiation of thin silicon based layers potentiostatically deposited from ionic liquid

“…It was correspondingly shown that Si thin films deposited on TiO 2 nanotube template arrays via magnetron sputtering [39] and plasma enhanced physical vapor deposition (PECVD) [40] have a good perspective to be implemented as advanced anodes for microbatteries. This paper reports on electrochemical deposition of Si containing layer as a prerequisite for TiO 2 nanotube modification by means of Si electroreduction, which will be addressed in our further work.…”

Reassessment of the roles of Ag in TiO2 nanotubes anode material for lithium ion battery

“…However, low conductivity of semi-conductive TiO 2 nanotube arrays limited the full display of the inherent merits. Therefore, some additives such as Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 [17], graphene [18], carbon [19], Co 3 O 4 [20], NiO [20], Si [21], Sn [22] and V [23] were used to modify the electrochemical performances of TiO 2 nanotube arrays anode in LIB.…”
