"Titanium Oxide Decorated Carbon Nanofiber Webs as Flexible Binder-Free Anode Materials for Lithium-ion Batteries" - By Yunhua Yu, PhD, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, China
Titanium oxides have been considered as potential alternative materials to traditional carbon-based anodes due to fast charge-discharge capability and better safety.
However, the rate capability of the Ti-based oxides is relatively low because of a large polarization at high charge-discharge rates resulting from the poor electrical conductivity and sluggish lithium-ion diffusion.
In this work, in order to overcome these drawbacks, a favorable method of distributing TiO2-Bnanowires on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) by using electro spinning technique and hydrothermal treatment was proposed to prepare TiO2-B/CNFs composite as a flexible binder-free anode material for Li-ion batteries.
