TiO2(B)@anatase hybrid nanowires with highly reversible electrochemical performance

Abstract

Novel TiO2(B)@anatase hybrid nanowires with a bicrystalline structure consisting of TiO2(B) core and anatase shell exhibit superior Li ion storage capacities, cycling stability and rate capability. Owing to the excellent electrochemical performance, TiO2(B)@anatase hybrid nanowires could be promising anode materials for lithium ion batteries. Crown Copyright (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V.
