In situ synthesis of mesoporous single-grain layer anatase TiO₂ nanosheets without additives via a mild and simple process for a long-term Li-ion battery

Abstract

Mesoporous single-grain layer anatase TiO₂ nanosheets were first <italic>in situ</italic> synthesized without additives in a new methanol–tetrabutyl titanate system on a large scale <italic>via</italic> a simple and easily reproducible method and were applied successfully as anode materials for a long-term Li-ion battery.
