Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, TiO2(B) nanotubes with uniform diameter were prepared by the simple route of hydrothermal synthesis, and graphene nanosheets were added to form TiO2(B)/graphene nanocomposites, the two kinds of materials were comparatively studied as anode materials. The morphology and crystal structure were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The electrochemical performance was evaluated by galvanostatic chargedischarge tests. The results show that the nanocomposite electrode material has good electrochemical performance due to the contributions of graphene. At the current density of 50mA/g, the capacity of TiO2(B)/graphene is 135.8 mAh/g, and the coulombic efficiency is 61.8%, after 10 charge-discharge cycles it still retains 113.2mAh/g . However, TiO2(B) anode reduces rapidly to 65.6 mAh/g.
