TiO₂ Nanorods for Lithium-Ion Anodes

Abstract

This work deals with TiO 2 based anode material for lithium-ion secondary batteries. The aims of this study is to synthetize and characterize TiO 2 - nanorod based active anode material using up scalable process with just slightly modified synthesis method commonly used for production of this type material. Low temperature treatment of raw samples was made and structural and electrochemical properties in correlation with treatment temperature were investigated. Using of these substances as promising li-ion anode materials was successfully tested by charge-discharge cycling and structural characterization by XRD and SEM was made.
