Abstract
A simple strategy to prepare a hybrid of nanocomposites of anatase TiO2/graphene nanosheets (GNS) as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries was reported. The morphology and crystal structure were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The electrochemical performance was evaluated by galvanostatic charge-discharge tests and alternating current (AC) impedance spectroscopy. The results show that the TiO2/GNS electrode exhibit higher electrochemical performance than that of TiO2 electrode regardless of the rate. Even at 500 mA/g, the capacity of TiO2/GNS is 120.3 mAh/g, which is higher than that of TiO2 61.6 mAh/g. The high performance is attributed to the addition of graphene to improve electrical conductivity and reduce polarization.
