Abstract
TiO2-B fibers were obtained by heat treatment of the precursor of tetratitanate(H2Ti4O9· xH2O), which was derived from potassium tetratitanate(K2Ti4O9)via ion exchange. Structure characterization showed that TiO2-B fibers sintered at 600°C still maintained pure phase and high crystallinity. Lithium insertion performance indicated that the capacity performance of this TiO2-B material sintered at 600°C was up to 225 mA·h·g-1, and was 50 mA·h·g-1(i. e. 22.5%)higher than that of the anatase material with similar structure. The TiO2-B fibers exhibited excellent rate performance mainly because the open structure of the TiO2-B fibers led to fast lithium-ion diffusion coefficient of 1.92×10-7 cm2·s-1, which was nearly 8 times higher than that of anatase material. 1 C stability test showed that the capacity of TiO2-B fiber was 159 mA·h·g-1 after 80 cycles, which was about 1.5 times higher than the capacity of anatase material(64 mA·h·g-1).
