Surface Engineering and Design Strategy for Surface‐Amorphized TiO2@Graphene Hybrids for High Power Li‐Ion Battery Electrodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surface amorphization provides unprecedented opportunities for altering and tuning material properties. Surface-amorphized TiO2@graphene synthesized using a designed low temperature-phase transformation technique exhibits significantly improved rate capability compared to well-crystallized TiO2@graphene and bare TiO2 electrodes. These improvements facilitates lithium-ion transport in both insertion and extraction processes and enhance electrolyte absorption capability.

متن کاملTiO2/graphene sandwich paper as an anisotropic electrode for high rate lithium ion batteries.
We designed an anisotropic electrode, in which Li(+) ion insertion and diffusion are anisotropic, by controlled growth of TiO2 nanosheets parallel to the surface of graphene paper. The anisotropic electrode gives a gravimetric capacity of 112 mA h g(-1) at an ultra-high rate of 100 C (corresponding to 36 s of charge-discharge), 3 times higher than that of a referenced isotropic electrode. The r...
