SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2307103.

Abstract
Flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs) are intensively studied using free-standing transition metal oxides (TMOs)-based anode materials. However, achieving high areal capacity TMO-based anode materials is yet to be effectively elucidated owing to the poor adhesion of the active materials to the flexible substrate resulting in low active mass loading, and hence low areal capacity is realized. Herein, a novel monolithic rutile TiO2 microparticles on carbon cloth (ATO/CC) that facilitate the flower-like arrangement of TiO2 nanowires (denoted ATO/CC/OTO) is demonstrated as high areal capacity anode for FLIBs. The optimized ATO/CC/OTO anode exhibits high areal capacity (5.02 mAh cm-2@0.4 mA cm-2) excellent rate capability (1.17 mAh cm-2@5.0 mA cm-2) and remarkable cyclic stability (over 500 cycles). A series of morphological, kinetic, electrochemical, in situ Raman, and theoretical analyses reveal that the rational phase boundaries between the microparticles and nanowires contribute to promoting the Li storage activity. Furthermore, a 16.0 cm2 all-FLIB pouch cell assembled based on the ATO/CC/OTO anode and LiNiCoMnO2 cathode coated on ATO/CC (ATO/CC/LNCM) exhibits impressive flexibility under different folding conditions, creating opportunity for the development of high areal capacity anodes in future flexible energy storage devices.

High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries with High Stability Derived from Titanium-Oxide- and Sulfur-Loaded Carbon Spherogels. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:5881-5895.

Abstract
This study presents a novel approach to developing high-performance lithium-ion battery electrodes by loading titania-carbon hybrid spherogels with sulfur. The resulting hybrid materials combine high charge storage capacity, electrical conductivity, and core-shell morphology, enabling the development of next-generation battery electrodes. We obtained homogeneous carbon spheres caging crystalline titania particles and sulfur using a template-assisted sol-gel route and carefully treated the titania-loaded carbon spherogels with hydrogen sulfide. The carbon shells maintain their microporous hollow sphere morphology, allowing for efficient sulfur deposition while protecting the titania crystals. By adjusting the sulfur impregnation of the carbon sphere and varying the titania loading, we achieved excellent lithium storage properties by successfully cycling encapsulated sulfur in the sphere while benefiting from the lithiation of titania particles. Without adding a conductive component, the optimized material provided after 150 cycles at a specific current of 250 mA g-1 a specific capacity of 825 mAh g-1 with a Coulombic efficiency of 98%.

Abstract
As a key structural parameter, phase depicts the arrangement of atoms in materials. Normally, a nanomaterial exists in its thermodynamically stable crystal phase. With the development of nanotechnology, nanomaterials with unconventional crystal phases, which rarely exist in their bulk counterparts, or amorphous phase have been prepared using carefully controlled reaction conditions. Together these methods are beginning to enable phase engineering of nanomaterials (PEN), i.e., the synthesis of nanomaterials with unconventional phases and the transformation between different phases, to obtain desired properties and functions. This Review summarizes the research progress in the field of PEN. First, we present representative strategies for the direct synthesis of unconventional phases and modulation of phase transformation in diverse kinds of nanomaterials. We cover the synthesis of nanomaterials ranging from metal nanostructures such as Au, Ag, Cu, Pd, and Ru, and their alloys; metal oxides, borides, and carbides; to transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and 2D layered materials. We review synthesis and growth methods ranging from wet-chemical reduction and seed-mediated epitaxial growth to chemical vapor deposition (CVD), high pressure phase transformation, and electron and ion-beam irradiation. After that, we summarize the significant influence of phase on the various properties of unconventional-phase nanomaterials. We also discuss the potential applications of the developed unconventional-phase nanomaterials in different areas including catalysis, electrochemical energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors), solar cells, optoelectronics, and sensing. Finally, we discuss existing challenges and future research directions in PEN.

Abstract
Within the automotive field, there has been an increasing amount of global attention toward the usability of combustion-independent electric vehicles (EVs). Once considered an overly ambitious and costly venture, the popularity and practicality of EVs have been gradually increasing due to the usage of Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Although the topic of LIBs has been extensively covered, there has not yet been a review that covers the current advancements of LIBs from economic, industrial, and technical perspectives. Specific overviews on aspects such as international policy changes, the implementation of cloud-based systems with deep learning capabilities, and advanced EV-based LIB electrode materials are discussed. Recommendations to address the current challenges in the EV-based LIB market are discussed. Furthermore, suggestions for short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals that the LIB-EV industry should follow are provided to ensure its success in the near future. Based on this literature review, it can be suggested that EV-based LIBs will continue to be a hot topic in the years to come and that there is still a large amount of room for their overall advancement.

Abstract
Owing to its pseudocapacitive, unidimensional, rapid ion channels, TiO2(B) is a promising material for application to battery electrodes. In this study, we align these channels by epitaxially growing TiO2(B) films with the assistance of an isostructural VO2(B) template layer. In a liquid electrolyte, binder-free TiO2(B) epitaxial electrodes exhibit a supercapacity near the theoretical value of 335 mA h g-1 and an excellent charge-discharge reproducibility for ≥200 cycles, which outperform those of other TiO2(B) nanostructures. For the all-solid-state configuration employing the LiPON solid electrolyte, excellent stability persists. Our findings suggest excellent potential for miniaturizing all-solid-state nanobatteries in self-powered integrated circuits.

Abstract
Anatase TiO2 is a promising material for Li-ion (Li+ ) batteries with fast charging capability. However, Li+ (de)intercalation dynamics in TiO2 remain elusive and reported diffusivities span many orders of magnitude. Here, we develop a smart protocol for scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) with in situ optical microscopy (OM) to enable the high-throughput charge/discharge analysis of single TiO2 nanoparticle clusters. Directly probing active nanoparticles revealed that TiO2 with a size of ≈50 nm can store over 30 % of the theoretical capacity at an extremely fast charge/discharge rate of ≈100 C. This finding of fast Li+ storage in TiO2 particles strengthens its potential for fast-charging batteries. More generally, smart SECCM-OM should find wide applications for high-throughput electrochemical screening of nanostructured materials.

Abstract
While development of a sodium-ion battery (SIB) cathode has been approached by various routes, research on compatible anodes for advanced SIB systems has not been sufficiently addressed. The anode materials based on titanium oxide typically show low electrical performances in SIB systems primarily due to their low electrical/ionic conductivity. Thus, in this work, layered titanium oxides were hybridized with covalent organic nanosheets (CONs), which exhibited excellent electrical conductivity, to be used as anodes in SIBs. Moreover, to enlarge the accessible areas for sodium ions, the morphology of the hybrid was formulated in the form of a hollow sphere (HS), leading to the highly enhanced ionic conductivity. This synthesis method was based on the expectation of synergetic effects since titanium oxide provides direct electrostatic sodiation sites that shield organic components and CON supports high electrical and ionic conductivity with polarizable sodiation sites. Therefore, the hybrid shows enhanced and stable electrochemical performances as an anode for up to 2600 charge/discharge cycles compared to the HS without CONs. Furthermore, the best reversible capacities obtained from the hybrid were 426.2 and 108.5 mAh/g at current densities of 100 and 6000 mA/g, which are noteworthy results for the TiO2-based material.

Abstract
TiO2 exists naturally in three crystalline forms: Anatase, rutile, brookite, and TiO2 (B). These polymorphs exhibit different properties and consequently different photocatalytic performances. This paper aims to clarify the differences between titanium dioxide polymorphs, and the differences in homophase, biphase, and triphase properties in various photocatalytic applications. However, homophase TiO2 has various disadvantages such as high recombination rates and low adsorption capacity. Meanwhile, TiO2 heterophase can effectively stimulate electron transfer from one phase to another causing superior photocatalytic performance. Various studies have reported the biphase of polymorph TiO2 such as anatase/rutile, anatase/brookite, rutile/brookite, and anatase/TiO2 (B). In addition, this paper also presents the triphase of the TiO2 polymorph. This review is mainly focused on information regarding the heterophase of the TiO2 polymorph, fabrication of heterophase synthesis, and its application as a photocatalyst.

Abstract
With the increasing applications of Lithium-ion batteries in heavy equipment and engineering machinery, the requirements of rate capability are continuously growing. The high-rate performance of Li4Ti5O12(LTO) needs to be further improved. In this paper, we synthesized LTO microsphere-TiO2(B) nanosheets (LTO-TOB) composite by using a solvothermal method and subsequent calcination. LTO-TOB composite combines the merits of TiO2(B) and LTO, resulting in excellent high-rate capability (144.8, 139.3 and 124.4 mAh g-1at 20 C, 30 C and 50 C) and superior cycling stability (98.9% capability retention after 500 cycles at 5 C). Its excellent electrochemical properties root in the large surface area, high grain-boundary density and pseudocapacitive effect of LTO-TOB. This work reveals that LTO-TOB composite can be a potential anode for high power and energy density lithium-ion batteries.

Enhancing Lithium and Sodium Storage Properties of TiO 2(B) Nanobelts by Doping with Nickel and Zinc. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 11:1703. [PMID: 34203554 PMCID: PMC8306191 DOI: 10.3390/nano11071703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Revised: 06/23/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Nickel- and zinc-doped TiO2(B) nanobelts were synthesized using a hydrothermal technique. It was found that the incorporation of 5 at.% Ni into bronze TiO2 expanded the unit cell by 4%. Furthermore, Ni dopant induced the 3d energy levels within TiO2(B) band structure and oxygen defects, narrowing the band gap from 3.28 eV (undoped) to 2.70 eV. Oppositely, Zn entered restrictedly into TiO2(B), but nonetheless, improves its electronic properties (Eg is narrowed to 3.21 eV). The conductivity of nickel- (2.24 × 10-8 S·cm-1) and zinc-containing (3.29 × 10-9 S·cm-1) TiO2(B) exceeds that of unmodified TiO2(B) (1.05 × 10-10 S·cm-1). When tested for electrochemical storage, nickel-doped mesoporous TiO2(B) nanobelts exhibited improved electrochemical performance. For lithium batteries, a reversible capacity of 173 mAh·g-1 was reached after 100 cycles at the current load of 50 mA·g-1, whereas, for unmodified and Zn-doped samples, around 140 and 151 mAh·g-1 was obtained. Moreover, Ni doping enhanced the rate capability of TiO2(B) nanobelts (104 mAh·g-1 at a current density of 1.8 A·g-1). In terms of sodium storage, nickel-doped TiO2(B) nanobelts exhibited improved cycling with a stabilized reversible capacity of 97 mAh·g-1 over 50 cycles at the current load of 35 mA·g-1.

Rational synthesis and lithium storage properties of hierarchical nanoporous TiO 2(B) assemblies with tailored crystallites and architectures. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 600:530-536.

Abstract
In comparison to the common anatase, rutile and brookite phases, the bronze phase TiO2 (TiO2(B)) is rarely prepared, and obtaining unique TiO2(B) structures, especially those with complex configurations remains a great challenge. This work presents a completely new synthetic approach for fabricating hierarchical nanoporous TiO2(B) assemblies with tailored crystallites and architectures via the reaction between tetrabutyl titanate and normal fatty acids. Three different kinds of normal fatty acids, i.e., pentanoic acid, hexanoic acid, and nonanoic acid were utilized as the sole solvent. After a simple solvothermal treatment, nanoporous TiO2(B) microspheres constructed by [001]-elongated ultrathin nanorods, randomly aggregated ultrafine nanocrystals, and crystallographically oriented nanocrystals were successfully produced separately. Further investigation revealed that the morphology of the hierarchical assemblies could be modified by using foreign substrates to adjust the growth dynamics of TiO2(B) crystals. As a good illustration, by introducing graphene nanosheets into the tetrabutyl titanate-pentanoic acid system, nanosized [001]-elongated-ultrathin-nanorod-constructed nanoporous TiO2(B) assemblies were obtained, which exhibited superior performance as an anode in Li-ion batteries. This work can not only shed new light on TiO2(B) crystallization, but also provide an effective solution for the rational design of complex TiO2(B) micro-/nanoarchitectures for desired applications.

Abstract
The sodiation mechanism of TiO2 anatase was thoroughly investigated via X-ray absorption spectroscopy under operando conditions. The data set was analysed via an innovative and smart approach based on chemometric tools that allows the unbiased and reliable extraction of the maximum amount of meaningful information. The resulting data analysis reveals that the electrochemical sodiation mechanism is mainly based on the reduction of Ti4+ to Ti3+, going along with the irreversible amorphisation of the pristine anatase structure. At least one semi-amorphous intermediate is formed during the first discharge, whose local structure resembles those obtained at the end of the charge.

Abstract
The formation of a thin film electrode exhibiting high capacity and high rate capabilities is challenging in the field of miniaturized electrochemical energy storage. Here, we present an elegant strategy to tune the morphology and the properties of sputtered porous Nb2O5 thin films deposited on Si-based substrates via the magnetron sputtering deposition technique. Kinetic analysis of the redox reactions is studied to qualify the charge storage process, where we observe a non-diffusion-controlled mechanism within the porous niobium pentoxide thin film. To improve the surface capacity of the Nb2O5 porous electrode, the thickness is progressively increased up to 0.94 μm, providing a surface capacity close to 60 μAh·cm-2 at 1 mV·s-1. The fabrication of high energy density miniaturized power sources based on the optimized T-Nb2O5 films could be achieved for Internet of Things applications requiring high rate capability.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2019; 9:E627.

Abstract
The insulation of mineral oil-based nanofluids was found to vary with different concentration level of nanoparticles. However, the mechanisms behind this research finding are not well studied. In this paper, mineral oil-based nanofluids were prepared by suspending TiO2 nanoparticles with weight percentages ranging from 0.0057% to 0.0681%. The breakdown voltage and chop time of nanofluids were observed under standard lightning impulse waveform. The experimental results show that the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles increases the breakdown voltage of mineral oil under positive polarity. The enhancement of breakdown strength tends to saturate when the concentration of nanoparticle exceeds 0.0227 wt%. Electronic traps formed at the interfacial region of nanoparticles, which could capture fast electrons in bulk oil and reduce the net density of space charge in front of prebreakdown streamers, are responsible for the breakdown strength enhancement. When the particle concentration level is higher, the overlap of Gouy-Chapman diffusion layers results in the saturation of trap density in nanofluids. Consequently, the breakdown strength of nanofluids is saturated. Under negative polarity, the electrons are likely to be scattered by the nanoparticles on the way towards the anode, resulting in enhanced electric fields near the streamer tip and the decrement of breakdown voltage.

Abstract
A mixed valence compound, sodium titanium oxide bronze (NaxTiO2-B), combines intriguing properties of high electric conductivity and good chemical stability together with a unique one-dimensional tunnel crystal structure available for cation storage. However, this compound has not been studied for a long period because of the strongly reductive condition at high temperature required for its preparation, which limits the morphological control such as the preparation of nanocrystals. For the first time in this paper, the topotactic synthesis of nano-sized NaxTiO2-B with high specific surface area (>130 m2 g-1) from TiO2(B) nanoparticles has been demonstrated. The reaction of metastable TiO2(B) with NaBH4 allows carrier electrons to be doped simultaneously with incorporation of Na+ ions into the interstitial sites of the host Ti-O lattice at relatively low temperature. An electrochemical investigation of Li+- and Na+-ion storage behaviors suggests that the incorporated Na+ ions are mainly placed in the 6-fold coordination sites of bronze. In addition, optical measurements including time-resolved transient spectroscopy revealed that the doped electrons in the NaxTiO2-B nanoparticles are predominantly in the Ti3+ state and behave as a small polaron. The pelletized NaxTiO2-B nanoparticles shows a good electronic conductivity of 1.4 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 30 °C with an activation energy of 0.17 eV, which is attributable to the thermal barrier for the polaron hopping.

Abstract
LiMn2O4 (LMO) thin films are deposited on Si-based substrates with Pt current collector via multi-layer pulsed-laser-deposition technique. The LMO thin films feature unique kinetics that yield outstanding electrochemical cycling performance in an aqueous environment. At extremely high current densities of up to 1880 μA cm-2 (≈ 348 C), a reversible capacity of 2.6 μAh cm-2 is reached. Furthermore, the electrochemical cycling remains very stable for over 3500 cycles with a remarkable capacity retention of 99.996% per cycle. We provide evidence of significant nondiffusion-controlled, pseudocapacitive-like storage contribution of the LMO electrode.

Abstract
The high (de)lithiation potential of TiO2 (ca. 1.7 V vs Li/Li+ in 1 M Li+) decreases the voltage and, thus, the energy density of a corresponding Li-ion battery. On the other hand, it offers several advantages such as the (de)lithiation potential far from lithium deposition or absence of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The latter is currently under controversial debate as several studies reported the presence of a SEI when operating TiO2 electrodes at potentials above 1.0 V vs Li/Li+. We investigate the formation of a SEI at anatase TiO2 electrodes by means of X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The investigations were performed in different potential ranges, namely, during storage (without external polarization), between 3.0-2.0 V and 3.0-1.0 V vs Li/Li+, respectively. No SEI is formed when a completely dried and residues-free TiO2 electrode is cycled between 3.0 and 2.0 V vs Li/Li+. A SEI is detected by XPS in the case of samples stored for 6 weeks or cycled between 3.0 and 1.0 V vs Li/Li+. With use of SECM, it is verified that this SEI does not possess the electrically insulating character as expected for a "classic" SEI. Therefore, we propose the term apparent SEI for TiO2 electrodes to differentiate it from the protecting and effective SEI formed at graphite electrodes.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2016; 318:551-560. [PMID: 27469043 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2016.07.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2016] [Revised: 07/17/2016] [Accepted: 07/18/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
In this work we have developed a unique structure of ultrathin (5nm) TiO2 nanolayers grafted graphene nanosheets (TiO2/G) and integrated oxygen vacancy (VO) into TiO2 to enhance its lithium storage and photocatalytic performances. The defective TiO2/G was synthesized by a solvothermal and subsequent thermal treatment method. When treated in a H2 atmosphere, the resulting TiO2-x/G(H2) has lower crystallinity, smaller crystal size, richer surface VO, higher surface area, larger pore volume, and lower charge transfer resistance than that reduced by NaBH4 solid, i.e., TiO2-x/G(NaBH4). More importantly, the surface VO in the TiO2-x/G(H2) could remarkably inhibit the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs compared with the bulk Vo in the TiO2-x/G(NaBH4). As a result, the combination of all the factors contributed to the superiority of TiO2-x/G(H2), which demonstrated not only 70% higher specific capacity, longer cycling performance (1000 cycles) and better rate capability for lithium-ion battery, but also higher photocatalytic activity and 1.5 times faster degradation rate for organic pollutants removal than TiO2-x/G(NaBH4). The findings in this work will benefit the fundamental understanding of TiO2/G surface chemistry and advance the design and preparation of functional materials for energy storage and water treatment.

Abstract
Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are receiving increasing attention over the past decade due to their high energy density. This energy storage technology is expected to continue improving the performance, especially for its large-scale deployment in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and full electric vehicles (EVs). Such improvement requires having a large variety of analytical techniques at scientists' disposal in order to understand and address the multiple mechanisms and processes occurring simultaneously in this complex system. This perspective article aims to highlight the strength and potential of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) in this field. After a brief description of a LIB system and the most commonly used techniques in this field, the unique information provided by SECM is illustrated by discussing several recent examples from the literature.
