title: Hydrogenated Li(4)Ti(5)O(12) nanowire arrays for high rate lithium ion batteries.
abstract: Self-supported Li(4) Ti(5) O(12)  nanowire arrays with high conductivity architectures are designed and fabricated for application in a Li-ion battery. The Li(4) Ti(5) O(12)  nanowire arrays grow directly on Ti foil by a facile solution-based method, further enhancing Li-ion storage properties by creating Ti(3+)  sites through hydrogenation. This configuration ensures that every Li(4) Ti(5) O(12)  nanowire participates in the fast electrochemical reaction, enabling remarkable rate performance and a long cycle life.
