Electrochemical Properties of Rutile TiO2 Nanorod Array in Lithium Hydroxide Solution

چکیده
In this paper, rutile TiO2 nanorod arrays are fabricated by a template-free method and proposed as a promising anode for aqueous Li-ion battery. The as-prepared TiO2 nanorod arrays exhibited reversible Li-ion insertion/extraction ability in aqueous LiOH electrolyte. Moreover, galvanostatic charge/discharge test results demonstrated that the reversible capacity of TiO2 nanorods could reach about 39.7 mC cm-2, and 93.8 % of initial capacity was maintained after 600 cycles at a current density of 1 mA cm-2 (=240 C rate), indicating excellent cycling stability and rate capability.

متن کاملAdditive-free synthesis of unique TiO2 mesocrystals with enhanced lithium-ion intercalation properties†
Unique nanorod-like mesocrystals constructed from ultrathin rutile TiO2 nanowires were successfully fabricated for the first time using a low-temperature additive-free synthetic route, and the mesocrystal formation requirements and mechanism in the absence of polymer additives were discussed. The ultrathin nanowires were highly crystalline and their diameters were found to be ca. 3–5 nm. The ru...

Herein, we have fabricated rutile TiO2 nanorod-coupled α-Fe2O3 by a wet-chemical process. It is demonstrated that the visible activities for photoelectrochemical water oxidation and for degrading pollutant of α-Fe2O3 are greatly enhanced after coupling a proper amount of rutile nanorods. The enhanced activity is attributed to the prolonged lifetime and improved separation of photogenerated char...

ont matter & 2012 n.2012.02.009 thors. : wei-mingdeng@f .edu (G. Cao). Abstract Wulff-shaped and nanorod-like nanoporous mesocrystals constructed from ultrathin rutile TiO2 nanowires were successfully fabricated for the first time in the presence of the surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS). SDBS played a key role in the homoepitaxial selfassembly process, in which titanate nanowir...

Rutile-phase titanium dioxide nanorod arrays were prepared by the hydrothermal method. Then, anatase-phase nanoleaves were successfully synthesized on the nanorod arrays via mild aqueous chemistry. Nanorod arrays scanning electron microscopy revealed that the thin film is uniform and crack free and the average diameter and height of the nanorods are 90 nm and 2 µm, respectively. Furthermo...
