As anode material for lithium-ion batteries, graphite has the disadvantage of relatively low specific capacity. In this work, a simple yet effective strategy to overcome the disadvantages by using a composite of flake graphite (FG) and small-sized graphene (SG) has been developed. The FG/SG composite prepared by dispersing FG and SG (90:10 w/w) in ethanol and drying delivers much higher specific capacity than that of individual component except for improved rate capability. More surprisingly, FG/SG composite delivers higher reversible capacity than its theoretical value calculated according to the theoretical capacities of graphite and graphene. Therefore, a synergistic effect between FG and SG in lithium storage is clearly discovered. To explain it, we propose a model that abundant nanoscopic cavities were formed due to physical adhesion between FG and SG and could accommodate extra lithium.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers have been widely applied in various fields including photocatalysis, energy storage and solar cells due to the advantages of low cost, high abundance and nontoxicity. However, the low conductivity of ions and bulk electrons hinder its rapid development in lithium-ion batteries (LIB). In order to improve the electrochemical performances of TiO2 nanomaterials as anode for LIB, hierarchically porous TiO2 nanofibers with different tetrabutyl titanate (TBT)/paraffin oil ratios were prepared as anode for LIB via a versatile single-nozzle microemulsion electrospinning (ME-ES) method followed by calcining. The experimental results indicated that TiO2 nanofibers with the higher TBT/paraffin oil ratio demonstrated more axially aligned channels and a larger specific surface area. Furthermore, they presented superior lithium-ion storage properties in terms of specific capacity, rate capability and cycling performance compared with solid TiO2 nanofibers for LIB. The initial discharge and charge capacity of porous TiO2 nanofibers with a TBT/paraffin oil ratio of 2.25 reached up to 634.72 and 390.42 mAh·g−1, thus resulting in a coulombic efficiency of 61.51%; and the discharge capacity maintained 264.56 mAh·g−1 after 100 cycles, which was much higher than that of solid TiO2 nanofibers. TiO2 nanofibers with TBT/paraffin oil ratio of 2.25 still obtained a high reversible capacity of 204.53 mAh·g−1 when current density returned back to 40 mA·g−1 after 60 cycles at increasing stepwise current density from 40 mA·g−1 to 800 mA·g−1. Herein, hierarchically porous TiO2 nanofibers have the potential to be applied as anode for lithium-ion batteries in practical applications.

Graphitized-Carbon coated Li4Ti5O12/C (Li4Ti5O12/GC) composites were prepared from Li2CO3, TiO2 and aromatic resorcinol via a facile rheological phase method. The microstructure and morphology of the samples were determined by XRD and SEM. The electrochemical performances of the samples were characterized by galvanostatic charge-discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results reveal that the coating of graphitized carbon could effectively enhance the charge/transfer kinetics of the Li4Ti5O12 electrode. The Li4Ti5O12/GC could deliver a discharge specific capacity of 166 mAh/g at 0.2 C, 148 mAh/g at 1.0 C, 142 mAh/g at 3.0 C, 138 mAh/g at 5.0 C and 127 mAh/g at 10.0 C, respectively, and it still could remain at 132 mAh/g after cycled at 5.0 C for 100 cycles. The excellent rate capability of the Li4Ti5O12/C makes it a promising anode material for high rate lithium ion batteries.
