Abstract

Abstract: Mesoporous TiO₂-B/anatase microparticles have been in-situ synthesized from K₂Ti₂O₅ without template. The TiO₂-B phase around the particle surface accelerates the diffusion of charges through the interface, while the anatase phase in the coremaintains the capacity stability. The heterojunction interface between themain polymorph of anatase and the trace of TiO₂-B exhibits promising lithiumion battery performance. This trace of 5% (by mass) TiO₂-B determined by Raman spectra brings the first discharge capacity of thismaterial to 247mA·h·g^-1, giving 20% improvement compared to the anatase counterpart. Stability testing at 1 C reveals that the capacitymaintains at 171mA·h·g^-1, which is better than 162mA·h·g^-1 for single phase anatase or 159 mA·h·g^-1 for TiO₂-B. The mesoporous TiO₂-B/anatase microparticles also show superior rate performance with 100 mA·h·g^-1 at 40 C, increased by nearly 25% as compared to pure anatase. This opens a possibility of a general design route, which can be applied to other metal oxide electrode materials for rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors.
