ABSTRACT

In situ growth of carbon nanomaterials on active substance is a very favorable strategy for the preparation of electrode in lithium-ion batteries with excellent electrochemical performance and high stability. Small-sized TiO2 nanoparticles intercalated into carbon nanosheets (CNS@TiO2SNP-600) were successfully synthesized via in-situ polymerization-carbonization method, utilizing layered H2Ti4O9 (HTO) as template and benzidine as carbon source. The morphology and size of TiO2 are greatly influenced by carbonization temperature. The coin cell with the CNS@TiO2SNP-600 electrode demonstrates a discharge specific capacity of 430.4 mAh×g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A×g-1, and the capacity retention rate is 88.1% after 100 cycles; and it also displays a high discharge specific capacity of 101.8 mAh×g-1 at a high current density of 12.8 A×g-1. The excellent electrochemical performances can be ascribed to the capacitance effect originated from the intercalated structure of in-situ grown CNS and TiO2 nanoparticles. We believe this type of materials can be widely used in the lithium-ion batteries and other related green chemical fields.
