A 3D mesoporous TiO 2 material with well-developed mesostructure is prepared in the form of a binderless thin (100 nm) film and studied as potential candidate for the negative electrode in lithium micro-batteries. By appropriate thermal treatments, the selected crystal structure (anatase, rutile, or amorphous), and micro-/mesostructure of the materials was obtained. An extended plateau with at about 0.75 V was found for an X-ray amorphous TiO 2 sample (400 ºC) which can be tentatively assigned to the irreversible formation of cubic Li 2 Ti 2 O 4 . The effects of voltage window and prelithiation treatment improved first cycle reversibility up to 86 % and capacity retention of 90 % over 100 cycles. This study highlights the flexibility of the potential window to which the electrode can operate. Maximum capacity values over 100 cycles of 470 μA h cm 2 μm 1 and 177 μA h cm 2 μm 1 are obtained for voltage ranges of 0.1 2.6 V and 1.0 2.6 V, respectively. The observed values are between 6 and 2 times higher than those obtained for films with 600 nm (80 μAh cm -2 μm -1 ) and 900 nm (92 μAh cm -2 μm -1 ) lengths. This indicates that 100 nm thin TiO 2 films with high accessibility show finite-length type diffusion which is interesting for this particular application.
