Single-crystalline rutile TiO2 nanowires for improved lithium ion intercalation properties

Anatase TiO2 nanoparticles for lithium-ion batteries

“…Nowadays, lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are regarded as electrochemical power sources in electric (EVs) and hybrid-electric (HEVs) vehicles due to their high energy and power densities, long cyclability and the absence of a memory effect [1,2].…”

Investigations on the Synthesis, Optical and Electrical Properties of TiO2 Thin Films by Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD) method

“…It is also an excellent electrode material that can be used for the conversion of light energy into electrical energy because of its semiconductor properties. Its wide applications such as supercapacitors, dye-sensitized solar cells, quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells, lithium ion batteries, photoelectrolysis, water splitting, biosensors, photochromic devices, self-cleaning, and extremely thin absorber (ETA) solar cells have already been explored [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] . TiO 2 films can be synthesized by many chemical and physical deposition techniques, such as chemical vapor deposition, spin coating or spin casting, atomic layer deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, sputtering, cathodic arc deposition, electrospray deposition, sol-gel process 18 .…”

Rutile TiO2 Submicroboxes with Superior Lithium Storage Properties

“…This performance is superior to most other nanostructured rutile TiO 2 -based anode materials. [15,25,26,[33][34][35][36] For comparison, irregular microparticles composed of rutile TiO 2 nanoparticles are also prepared by a similar method without the addition of Fe 2 O 3 templates (Supporting Information, Figure S7), which exhibit inferior electrochemical activity (Supporting Information, Figure S6). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements demonstrate that TiO 2 submicroboxes show smaller diameter of high frequency semicircle than TiO 2 microparticles, indicating smaller solidstate interface resistance ( Supporting Information, Figure S8).…”
