Nanoscale size effect of titania (anatase) nanotubes with uniform wall thickness as high performance anode for lithium-ion secondary battery

Atomic Layer Deposited MoS 2 as a Carbon and Binder Free Anode in Li-ion Battery

“…Though the application of ALD in electrochemical storage is overwhelming, but till now the use is mostly limited to the protection layer to enhance the electrochemical performance of the electrode [22][23][24][25][26][27]. In recent literature, ALD was used to produce thin films of active material for lithium ion battery application [28][29][30][31][32]. TiO 2 was mostly studied system in this category [28,31,32].…”

Reassessment of the roles of Ag in TiO2 nanotubes anode material for lithium ion battery

“…It is well known that nano-morphology can endow TiO 2 with large surface area and thus high performances. For example, 3D ordered hollow TiO 2 nanotube arrays via facile anodization have been applied as the anode material in LIB [12], besides photo catalysts [13], solar cells [14], hydrogen sorption [15] and biomedical materials [16]. Because TiO 2 nanotubes arrays can act as excellent host for electrons and Li þ ions, and the tight combination with Ti substrate can allow for excluding of additional binder and conductive agent.…”

Metal Fluorides as Lithium-Ion Battery Materials: An Atomic Layer Deposition Perspective

“…The selection of materials is quite a bit more limited than in the cathode case, most likely illustrating the consensus that improvements in battery energy density are more easily obtained with improved cathode materials. ALD-made TiO 2 has been studied as an anode material mostly in various 3D-constructions, illustrating the conformal coating ability of ALD [78,[96][97][98]. Using 3D-structures the areal capacity of the titania anode can be greatly improved [96,97] Generally, TiO 2 can intercalate 0.5 Li, resulting in a capacity of 170 mAh/g [97] However, using nanomaterials more lithium can be intercalated and capacities of 330 mAh/g have been obtained with anatase nanotubes with a wall thickness of 5 nm [98].…”
