文摘

A new form of dual-phase heterostructured nanosheet comprised of oxygen-deficient TiO₂/Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ has been successfully synthesized and used as anode material for lithium ion batteries. With the three-dimensional (3D) Ti mesh as both the conducting substrate and the Ti³⁺/Ti⁴⁺ source, blue anatase Ti³⁺/TiO₂nanosheets were grown by a hydrothermal reaction. By controlling the chemical lithiation period of TiO₂ nanosheets, a phase boundary was created between the TiO₂ and the newly formed Li₄Ti₅O₁₂, which contribute additional capacity benefiting from favorable charge separation between the two phase interfaces. Through further hydrogenation of the 3D TiO₂/Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ heterostructured nanosheets (denoted as H-TiO₂/LTO HNS), an extraordinary rate performance with capacity of 174 mAh g^鈥? at 200 C and outstanding long-term cycling stability with only an 鈭?% decrease of its initial specific capacity after 6000 cycles were delivered. The heterostructured nanosheet morphology provides a short length of lithium diffusion and high electrode/electrolyte contact area, which could also explain the remarkable lithium storage performance. In addition, the full battery assembled based on the H-TiO₂/LTO anode achieves high energy and power densities.
