EXTRAORDINARY CAPACITY OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE (TIO2) NANOSTRUCTURES TOWARDS HIGH POWER AND HIGH ENERGY LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES

摘要

A titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanostructure for use as an electrode component in a lithium-ion battery is provided. The electrode component is formed by charging and discharging the TiO₂ nanostructure in an electrochemical cell from a high voltage of 1.0 to 3.0 V to a low voltage of 0.01 to 3.0 V at a charging rate of 2 to 100 C, wherein 1 C represents 175 mA/g. A lithium-ion electrochemical cell comprising the electrode is also provided. A lithium-ion battery comprising a plurality of the lithium-ion electrochemical cells is further provided.
