Direct growth of mesoporous anatase TiO₂ on nickel foam by soft template method as binder-free anode for lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

Mesoporous TiO₂ directly grown on nickel foam (TiO₂/Ni) prepared by a one-step soft template method was used directly as a lithium-ion battery anode. The binder-free TiO₂/Ni shows superior electrochemical properties.
