Abstract

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been widely investigated as the electrode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), due to its low cost, small volume expansion, and high environmental friendliness. However, the fading capacity and short cycle life during the cycling process lead to poor cycling performance. Herein, multilayer TiO2 nanobelts with a high specific surface area and with many pores between nanoparticles are constructed via a simple and large-scale approach. Benefiting from the multilayer nanobelt structure, as-prepared TiO2 nanobelts deliver a high reversible capacity, strong cycling stability, and ultra-long cycle life (~185 mAh g−1 at 500 mA g−1 after 500 cycles) as electrode materials for LIBs.
