Abstract
Mesoporous materials have gained a great deal of interest as catalysts because of their unique textural and structural characteristics. In this study, mesoporous spheres of anatase-TiO 2 with a specific surface area of 147 m 2 /g and a pore volume of 0.139 cm 3 /g, were successfully synthesized by combining a sol-gel process with an anionic surfactant (SDS)-assisted templating method. When used as the active component of the negative electrode materials for lithium batteries, they exhibit a large initial electrochemical lithium insertion capacity of 257 mAh/g, good reversibility and cyclic performance, as well as high discharge-charge rate properties.
