A Mesoporous Nanocomposite of TiO₂ and Carbon Nanotubes as a High‐Rate Li‐Intercalation Electrode Material

Abstract

A mesoporous nanocomposite of TiO2 and cut single-walled carbon nanotubes (c-SWNTs) is successfully synthesized by a bicontinuous microemulsion-aided process. The nanocomposite electrode (see Figure) shows a high capacity even at high charging–discharging rates due to the presence of nanochannels for both ion and electron transport.
