Synthesis of Carbon doped TiO2 Nanotubes as anode of Lithium Ion Batteries

Currently, demands for rechargeable batteries are increasing for applications in mobiledevices, electric-powered transportation, and stationary energy storage. Metal oxidenanostructures with high surface area are attractive lithium ion battery applications and havebeen investigated intensively in recent years. In the present work, we have employed a simpleprocess of anodizing Ti foils to prepare TiO2/C nanotube arrays which show enhancedelectrochemical properties as excellent long-term cycling stability and satisfactory ratecapability, as anode of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) [1-3].
