“…However,t he chargec apacitieso fb oth m-H 2 Ti 12 O 25 and s-H 2 Ti 12 O 25 are low in the initial dozens of cycles, even though they both increases lowly to higher capacity.T he low initial capacity,w hich occurs only at high current densities, may be relatedt ot he sluggish solid-state diffusion process of Li + ions in the one-dimensional channels of H 2 Ti 12 O 25 . [13,36] Thus, at ah igh current density (lots of Li + simultaneously inserted into the H 2 Ti 12 O 25 crystal), if al arge amount of Li + ions with ar adius larger than that of H + quickly pours into the tunnel, poor diffusion of the Li + ions in the narrow one-dimensional tunnels will inevitably impede subsequentL i + diffusion toward the thermodynamically favorable interstices. However, after dozens of cycles,t he tunnel space has been expandeds tep by step, which hence leads to sufficient channel space for Li + -ion mobility.A saresult, the chargec apacitieso f m-H 2 Ti 12 O 25 and s-H 2 Ti 12 O 25 gradually increase, and the coulombic efficiencies are close to 100 %.…”
