Graphene-wrapped TiO2 hollow structures with enhanced lithium storage capabilities

Nanoscale. 2011 May;3(5):2158-61. doi: 10.1039/c1nr10162e. Epub 2011 Apr 8.

Abstract

In this work, we report a rational design of graphene sheets-wrapped anatase TiO(2) hollow particles. This unique hybrid structure demonstrates significantly enhanced lithium storage capabilities compared to the pure TiO(2) counterpart, which clearly uncovers the merit of structural design and rational integration with graphene sheets.
