“…When the composite was applied as an anode material, it displayed ultrahigh specific capacity (638 mA h g −1 ). 25 Given these findings, the MOF-derivation strategy for synthesizing TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) was more attractive than other methods because it suppressed the severe aggregation of TiO 2 NPs and formed a conductive carbon framework on the surface of TiO 2 NPs. However, the MOF-derived anode materials did not demonstrate satisfactory specific capacity and rate-capability simultaneously, which inevitably indicates the additional need for a specific electrode design.…”
