TiO2 as an Anode of High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries: A Comprehensive Review towards Practical Application

Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are undeniably the most promising system for storing electric energy for both portable and stationary devices. A wide range of materials for anodes is being investigated to mitigate the issues with conventional graphite anodes. Among them, TiO2 has attracted extensive focus as an anode candidate due to its green technology, low volume fluctuations (<4%), safety, and durability. In this review, the fabrication of different TiO2 nanostructures along with their electrochemical performance are presented. Different nanostructured TiO2 materials including 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D are thoroughly discussed as well. More precisely, the breakthroughs and recent developments in different anodic oxidation processes have been explored to identify in detail the effects of anodization parameters on nanostructure morphology. Clear guidelines on the interconnected nature of electrochemical behaviors, nanostructure morphology, and tunable anodic constraints are provided in this review.

Composites of Montmorillonite and Titania Nanoparticles Prepared by Inverse Microemulsion Method: Physico-Chemical Characterization

“…It should be recalled that the interest in the development of titania-based nanocomposites is not limited to photocatalysis and catalysis but also stems from their wide application in photovoltaics, hydrogen storage, sensors, biomedicine, and electronics [ 1 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. The synthetic procedure described in this work is aimed specifically at the formation of titanium-clay hybrid systems but can be readily adapted to the deposition of TiO 2 nanoparticles in a variety of matrices or can be used to prepare finely dispersed clay nanoparticles for potential use in other clay-based composites such as, e.g., clay-reinforced polymers.…”

Advances in Electrospun Materials and Methods for Li-Ion Batteries

“…To demonstrate the utilization of transition metals as an anode, to circumvent the low columbic efficiency and reversible capacity hindrance challenges presented by the N-doped carbon fiber alone, the author developed a composite nanofiber of TiO 2 @C/N [ 116 ], using a flexible film consisting of TiO 2 nanoparticles [ 117 ] that were incorporated in nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber. Even without the addition of a conductive binder or other chemicals, the nanofiber developed serves as the anode of the battery.…”

Power and Energy Optimization of Carbon Based Lithium-Ion Battery from Water Spinach (<i>Ipomoea Aquatica</i>)

“…LiCl and Li 2 SO 4 are salttype electrolytes that are more stable to increase in pH than other acid or base electrolytes (Lamb & Burheim, 2021). When lithium ions move as a chemical energy process, the pH will be low (acid) (Paul et al, 2022). This condition makes the battery easily oxidized, causing leakage.…”
